In 1779, the German scholar Heinrich August Ottokar Reichard translated the French book “Histoire naturelle, civile et politique du Tonquin” of Jérôme Richard, which had been printed the year before in Paris. The Abbé Richard’s book was itself a published version of the records of the missionary Charles-Thomas de Saint-Phalle, who stayed in Vietnam from about 1730 to 1738.<br/>While both the Abbés Saint-Phalle and Richard dedicated a large part of their French accounts to missionary work, the German translator Reichard concentrated his 230 page book, “Sittliche und natürliche Geschichte von Tunkin” on all the information about the country concerning people, customs and rites, history, trade and handicrafts. <br/>In this new edition the authors follow the origin of this informative record about Tunkin in the 18th century and introduce the three European authors – Saint-Phalle, Richard and Reichard. They have provided an impression of the value of this text among other historical records of the 17-19th centuries about Vietnam, by quoting textual passages as examples and by comparison with other records.
English description: In 1779, the German scholar Heinrich August Ottokar Reichard translated the French book “Histoire naturelle, civile et politique du Tonquin” of Jerome Richard, which had been printed the year before in Paris. The Abbe Richard’s book was itself a published version of the records of the missionary Charles-Thomas de Saint-Phalle, who stayed in Vietnam from about 1730 to 1738. While both the Abbes Saint-Phalle and Richard dedicated a large part of their French accounts to missionary work, the German translator Reichard concentrated his 230 page book, “Sittliche und naturliche Geschichte von Tunkin” on all the information about the country concerning people, customs and rites, history, trade and handicrafts.

German description: Im Jahre 1779 ubersetzte Heinrich August Ottokar Reichard das Buch “Histoire naturelle, civile et politique du Tonquin” von Jerome Richard aus dem Franzosischen. Dieses Werk war ein Jahr zuvor in Paris publiziert worden und enthielt Aufzeichnungen des Missionars Charles-Thomas de Saint-Phalle, der zwischen 1730 und 1738 Vietnam bereist hatte. Wahrend sich das Original zum grossen Teil mit Aspekten der Missionierung beschaftigte, ruckte Reichard in seiner Ubertragung “Die Sittliche und naturliche Geschichte von Tunkin” die Menschen mit ihren Riten, ihrer Kultur und Geschichte sowie ihrem Handel in den Mittelpunkt. In der vorliegenden Neuausgabe spuren die Autoren die Ursprunge der Aufzeichnungen uber Tunkin aus dem 18. Jahrhundert auf. Ein Vergleich mit anderen historischen Berichten uber Vietnam zeigt den aussergewohnlichen Wert der Arbeit von Reichard.
