利瑪竇太平洋研究室 / Matteo Ricci & Pacific studies Reading Room

pacific_research由一本古書的牽線,成就了國家圖書館與耶穌會台北利氏學社攜手合作的姻緣。99年1月30日,雙方簽署了學術合作協議,合作計畫的精神與宗旨,在於利氏學社的藏書,其他合作議題尚包括協助籌設臺灣太平洋研究學會、珍貴史料數位化工程、合作出版學術書刊,並持續加強本專室書刊之徵集等。

利氏學社以利瑪竇為名,近五十年來致力於國際漢學、比較宗教、語言學等多元文化領域的研究,編纂出版《利氏漢法辭典》(Le Grand RICCI)並創辦《人籟論辨月刊》,以往因編纂字典收藏不少書籍,以語言學、哲學、社會科學為大宗,為促進學術研究的風氣,使更多人能充分利用該批藏書,遂將其永久寄存(Permanent Loan)國家圖書館,而國家圖書館擁有最理想的典藏環境,對珍貴文獻及歷史檔案的保存與數位化,更具豐富經驗與專業水準,對利氏學社寄存的圖書,為兼顧典藏與閱覽服務的需求,於六樓設立「利瑪竇太平洋研究」專室。

Ancient books form the link in a collaborative partnership that has been forged between the National Central Library in Taipei and the Taipei Ricci Institute. On January 30, 2010, the two institutions signed an academic collaboration agreement, the spirit and purpose of which lie in housing and making publicly available the Ricci Institute’s book collection. Other areas for cooperation under discussion include assisting in the establishment of a Taiwan Pacific Research Institute, digitizing valuable historical materials, jointly publishing academic books and journals, and continually strengthening the reading room’s collection.

Named after the famous Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci, over the last 50 years the Ricci Institute has been devoted to research in fields such as international Chinese Studies, comparative religion, and linguistics. The Institute is the compiler and publisher of Le Grand Ricci (a Chinese-French dictionary), and also founder and publisher of Renlai Magazine. During the process of compiling its dictionary it amassed a considerable number of books, particularly relating to linguistics, philosophy and the social sciences. In order to promote an atmosphere supporting academic research, and allow many more people able to make full use of its collection, the Institute has permanently loaned them to the National Central Library. The Library possesses the ideal environment to house such a collection, with extensive experience in preserving and digitizing valuable historical documents and records to a professional standard. To fulfill the need to safely store and make available for reading the books entrusted to it by the Ricci Institute, the Library has established the Matteo Ricci & Pacific Studies Reading Room on the 6th floor.
