1434. The Year a Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance.
London, Harper Collins, 2008, 368 pag., plates, paperback (as new). = In his bestselling book 1421:The Year China Discovered the World, Gavin Menzies revealed that it was the Chinese that discovered America, not Columbus. Now he presents further astonishing evidence that it was also Chinese advances in science, art, and technology that formed the basis of the European Renaissance and our modern world. In his bestselling book 1421: The Year China Discovered the World, Gavin Menzies presented controversial and compelling evidence that Chinese fleets beat Columbus, Cook and Magellan to the New World. But his research has led him to astonishing new discoveries that Chinese influence on Western culture didn't stop there. Until now, scholars have considered that the Italian Renaissance - the basis of our modern Western world - came about as a result of a re-examining the ideas of classical Greece and Rome. However, a stunning reappraisal of history is about to be published. Gavin Menzies makes the startling argument that a sophisticated Chinese delegation visited Italy in 1434, sparked the Renaissance, and forever changed the course of Western civilization.After that date the authority of Aristotle and Ptolemy was overturned and artistic conventions challenged, as was Arabic astronomy and cartography. Florence and Venice of the 15th century attracted traders from across the world. Menzies presents astonishing evidence that a large Chinese fleet, official ambassadors of the Emperor, arrived in Tuscany in 1434 where they met with Pope Eugenius IV in Florence. A mass of information was offered by the Chinese delegation to the Pope and his entourage - concerning world maps (which Menzies argues were later given to Columbus), astronomy, mathematics, art, printing, architecture, steel manufacture, civil engineering, military machines, surveying, cartography, genetics, and more. It was this gift of knowledge that sparked the inventiveness of the Renaissance - Da Vinci's inventions, the Copernican revolution, Galileo, etc. Following 1434, Europeans embraced Chinese intellectual ideas, discoveries, and inventions, which formed the basis of European civilization just as much as Greek thought and Roman law. In short, China provided the spark that set the Renaissance ablaze.

Zheng He's Voyages to Xiyang
Canfonian, 2004 Softcover, 288 pages, ENG / CHI, 215 x 140 x 17 mm, in good condition, however here and there some notes, but further okay, illustrated in colour / b/w. very interesting book, ISBN 9789810508654.
¶ In this pictorial series in English and Chinese, this is the story of Zheng He, navigator and diplomat in China's Ming Dynasty, who made seven successive voyages to xiyang over a period of about 30 years. Research in recent years has suggested that Zheng He's voyages may have preceded those of other explorers such as James Cook, Magellan and Columbus, sending shock waves through the world history arena. What cannot be argued is that the epic voyages of Zheng He, presented here in illustration and with 32 color images, are an important chapter in world navigation history.
