  Recent Publication in connection with the project:

  Georg Lehner: China in European Encyclopaedias, 1700-1850 (European
  Expansion and Indigenous Response 9; Leiden: Brill, 2011). ISBN13:
  9789004201507
  
  "This book shows how knowledge about China became part of European general
  knowledge. It examines English, French, and German encyclopaedias
  published between 1700 and 1850 and explores the use and presentation of
  information on China in works of general knowledge. The first chapters
  explore the origins of early European perceptions of China until 1850, the
  development of European encyclopaedias, and the sources used for entries
  on China. The second major part of the book examines the ways in which
  encyclopaedias presented information on things Chinese (geography,
  government, economy, history, language and literature, arts and sciences)
  and how this information was shaped, expanded, perpetuated, revised, and
  updated"
