China – Abel-Remusat, (Jean-Pierre): – Chinesische Erzählungen.

Very rare first German edition of 10 Chinese stories in the translation of the French edition. Interesting specially because of the introduction which contains explinations and notes about the contact between China and the West. It was published first in French edited by Jean-Pierre Abel-Remusat. The translation into German was made by Gottfried Wilhelm Becker. Jean-Pierre Abel-Rémusat (1788 – 1832) was the first professor at the College de France for Sinologie and is still known today for the publishing of a Chinese peom “Iu-kiao-li, ou les deux cousines, roman chinois” .
