Nestorian Stele
It was at this time (1676) that Navarrete's book, "Tratados historicos, politicos, ethicos, y religiosos de la monarchia de China" was published in Madrid. A strongly anti-Jesuit work (which, e.g. denied the authenticity of the Nestorian Stele), it was translated into most major European languages. It became particularly popular in England, and admired by the French Jansenists and Voltaire. Jesuits, on the other hand, tried to have this book suppressed.
