RAMOS RIERA, Ignacio  e  SOLA GARCIA, Diego. From Beijing to the Spanish-speaking World. Three Unpublished Letters from the Jesuit Diego de Pantoja (1571-1618). Méx.cuenca pac [online]. 2024, vol.13, n.38, pp.89-121.  Epub 12-Ago-2024. ISSN 2007-5308.  https://doi.org/10.32870/mycp.v13i38.888.

The objective of this paper is to offer unpublished archival material with an account of the nascent relations between the Hispanic Monarchy and the Ming Empire at the dawn of the 17th century. These are three letters from Diego de Pantoja, the Spanish-speaking pioneer in China, with a series of religious-political conceptions whose character is alternative to other Ibero-American testimonies of the time in the East Indies. This study uses a method based on three steps: the transcription of the letters, their historiographical contextualization, and the explanation of their geopolitically relevant elements. As a result of this process, this study highlights the importance of the figure of Pantoja for international relations in the Pacific area, both in the past and the present. The main contribution is to bring to light a testimony from the origins of the cultural exchange between the Chinese and Spanish-speaking world that serves as a basis for diplomatic understanding, political dialogue, and economic development of the present.
