Ample attention is dedicated to the evolution of Chinese grammars and dictionaries by these authors. Central to the monograph is the manuscript “Marsh 696”, which comprises a Chinese-Spanish dictionary and a fragmentary Spanish grammar of Mandarin Chinese, a hitherto unknown and unpublished anonymous and undated text entitled Arte de lengua mandarina. This text is probably a fragment of the earliest grammar written by a Westerner of Mandarin Chinese (completed in Manila in c.1641), previously presumed lost. It is presented here as a facsimile, a transcription of the Spanish text and an English translation alongside a detailed linguistic analysis. The historical framework outlined in this monograph spans from the predecessors of Francisco Díaz (1606–1646) around 1620, including the Jesuit linguistic production in mainland China and Early Manila Hokkien sources, to the era wherein Antonio Díaz (1667–1715) finalized his revised version of Francisco Díaz’s dictionary. The monograph scrutinizes these texts in relation to the linguistic contributions of Francisco Varo (1627–1687). Additionally, the monograph incorporates other unpublished texts that are significant for reconstructing the educational curriculum for teaching and learning Chinese by Dominican friars during this period. 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/sihols.131.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027214881.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027214881.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/sihols.131.hb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/sihols.131.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/sihols.131.hb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/sihols.131.hb.png 10 01 JB code sihols.131.toc v viii 4 Table of contents 1 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Table of contents</TitleText> 10 01 JB code sihols.131.foreword ix xii 4 Foreword 2 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Foreword and acknowledgments</TitleText> 10 01 JB code sihols.131.c1 1 37 37 Chapter 3 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 1.
