i go APPENDIX. 7 answer of the Hoi) Inquisition on March 26th, 1611, as given in Le Brim. ii. (Vol. p. 241, with addition xiv. Paris, 1726.) Feria quinta die 26 Martii, 1611. In generali Congregatione Sanctse Romance, et universalis Inquisitionis habita in Palatio Apostolico apud Sanctum Petrum coram Sanctissimo Domino nostro Paulo V. ... Item permisit Sanctitas sua iisdem Patribus, ut possint transferre sacra Biblia in Linguam Sin- arum, non tamen vulgarem, sed eruditam et litteratorum pro- in eadem lingua Sinarum possint a Sinis celebrari divina officia Missarum et Horarum Canonicarum. Denique permisit ut in eadem lingua erudita Sinarum, possint a Sinis Sacramenta ministrari, et aliae Ecclesiae functiones peragi. In a General Congregation of the Holy Roman and Universal Inquisition held in the Apostolic Palace at St. Peter s in the pres ence of our most holy Lord Paul V. ... His Holiness like wise gave leave to the Fathers to translate the holy books of the Bible into the Chinese language, not into the language of the people, but into the learned language distinctive of educated men, and to make use of these books thus translated ; at the same time (Paul V.) commands priam, illisque sic translates uti, et simul mandat ut in translatione Bibliorum, adhibeant summam et exquisitam diligentiam, that in the translation of the et translatio fidelissima sit, ac Bible the Fathers show every conceivable care and that the translation be most faithful, and he gives leave for the Divine service of the Mass and of the Canonical Hours to be said by the Chinese missionaries in the same Chinese language. Finally, he gave leave for the Sacraments and other Ecclesiastical rites to be administered by Chinese missionaries in the same classical Chinese language. The Holy Office in reply drew a distinction between the popular Chinese (lingua vulgaris) as now spoken by that people and the Chinese spoken by the learned and literary class. Leave was given to the Jesuit missionaries to translate Bible and liturgy into the latter (eruditam et littevatovum propriam), not into the former (noti tamen vulgarem). A Chinese scholar explains
APPENDIX. 191 to me the point of this distinction. The Chinese of the people is a fluctuating language, comparable in this respect with the vernacular tongues of European nations. The learned Chinese, or if we may be allowed the expression, the classical Chinese, is a language of ancient origin, going back to the time of Confucius (B.C. 500), stable in its forms and in the meanings attached to them, and bearing the same relation to modern Chinese, as ancient Latin to modern Italian. It has been stated in an earlier part of this article that six different languages are at the present moment in the East sanctioned by the Holy See in the celebra tion of Mass. Not one of these languages, so I am assured by an Oriental scholar, is the vernacular of the country. To take two familiar instances. In the Russian liturgy the language is not modern Russian but Slavonic of the time of St. Cyril and St. Methodius in the ninth century. Mass in Coptic is less understood than Mass in Latin ; not only has Coptic no affinity with the Arabic spoken by the people, but many of the Coptic priests can hardly read the Coptic Missal. Here is the case of a language unintelligible not only to the people but even to the priests, still kept in the liturgy with the sanction of authority. It can hardly be asserted that the Church favours the vernacular in her liturgy. Lastly : if the Church s liturgy vernacular, where shall we end ? The people may then is to be said in the fairly claim Mass in their local dialects which may be described as their vernacular. We must have at least two liturgies in Italy and France. For the Piedmontese peasant cannot understand the language of an educated Italian, and the rustics in the South of France cannot
