摘要： 明清来华耶稣会士译介儒学典籍的活动实为“中学西传”之滥觞。现藏于罗马伊曼努尔二世国家图书馆、编者署名罗明坚（Michele Ruggieri）的一部十六世纪初拉丁文手稿，是学界目前发现的最早“四书”拉丁文译稿。在前人研究的基础上，本文通过对手稿字迹、日期、署名、翻译体例、翻译底本的观察和思考，重点以手稿中对《大学》、《中庸》、《论语》儒学概念的翻译为例，将其与之后来华耶稣会士翻译出版的其他《大学》、《中庸》、《论语》拉丁文译本作比，分析手稿译文的特点并推断其译者归属，试图呈现早期来华传教士对儒学典籍的真实理解和他们作为当时“儒学西译”主力军所面临的跨文化译介困境及采用的译介手段。

Abstract: A Latin manuscript from the early 16th century, which is conserved in the National Library Vittorio Emmanuel II of Rome with its editor’s signature Michele Ruggieri, is regarded as the earliest Latin translation of the Four Books discovered so far. Based on a preliminary study of its handwriting, its date of annotations, the signature of its editor and its different translating styles, this paper focuses on the Latin translation of the Confucian concepts in Daxue, Zhongyong and Lunyu. By comparing it with other officially published Latin translations of the Four Books composed by the Jesuits in China during the 17th-18th century, the paper analyses its characteristics, speculates about its real translator, and tries to present an original understanding of the Jesuits on Confucian works in spite of cross-cultural translation.
