Next year is the 400th anniversary of the death of Matteo Ricci, SJ, one of the most remarkable of the early Jesuit missionaries. He was the first to bring European learning and culture to the Chinese. This is a video marking a special exhibition at the Vatican in honor of Ricci.

Seeing this video makes me want to re-read “The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci”, which I read some years ago…
Great video, Jim. Thanks! Isn’t Ricci a wonderful inspiration to us all to listen, learn and adapt?
