商品描述

This book offers the first historical summary in English and source text in Dutch of the Tayuoan Consistory Minutes recorded between 1643 and 1649 at the Castle Zeelandia in Formosa (today's Taiwan). The minute recordings occurred at a crucial moment in the existence of the Dutch East India Company in Taiwan in the 17th century and are complemented with an annotated Introduction that contextualizes the manuscript from an historical perspective. The public disclosure in Dutch transcription and English translation is one of the few remaining primary sources covering the Calvinist mission history of the Dutch pioneering settlement in Formosa. It is concise and the reading is factual, yet enriching from a multitude of perspectives.

The main topics cover the growing community of Calvinist believers, the expansion of the education, and the evangelization of the Indigenous, such as the inspection of the schools, finances of the church and the diaconate, mobility and community membership among the VOC employees. These come to make the record of important events, evaluation of personalities and socio-economic development of the Dutch community and an emerging indigenous community of believers. This serves to deepen the understanding of the goal of the Church consistory to act as an instrument in carrying out VOC policies. We want to draw attention to illustrate how this contributed to an emerging citizenry. The manuscript is replete with valuable information about the colonial encounter, the contact with the Indigenous, the tension between a clerical and secular society in establishing a Calvinist community, and most of all to contextualize the historiographic intervention. It helps to critically scrutinize the colonial biases and its inherited narratives, and offers against the background of the traditional echoed perspectives of the VOC as a "merchant" organization, a glimpse into what this pioneering settlement was all about.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書提供了1643年至1649年間在福爾摩沙（今日的台灣）澎湖城堡所記錄的台灣會議紀錄的第一部英文歷史摘要及荷蘭文原文。這些紀錄是在17世紀荷蘭東印度公司在台灣存在的關鍵時刻進行的，並附有註釋的導言，從歷史的角度為手稿提供背景。以荷蘭文抄本和英文翻譯公開發表的這些紀錄，是涵蓋荷蘭在福爾摩沙的加爾文主義傳教歷史的少數原始資料之一。內容簡潔，閱讀事實性強，卻從多個角度提供了豐富的見解。

主要主題涵蓋了加爾文主義信徒日益增長的社群、教育的擴展以及對原住民的傳教工作，例如學校的檢查、教會和執事會的財務、以及荷蘭東印度公司（VOC）員工的流動性和社群成員資格。這些記錄了重要事件、對人物的評估以及荷蘭社群和新興信徒原住民社群的社會經濟發展。這有助於加深對教會會議作為執行VOC政策工具的理解。我們希望引起注意，說明這如何促進了新興公民身份的形成。手稿中充滿了有關殖民接觸、與原住民的接觸、在建立加爾文主義社群過程中神職與世俗社會之間的緊張關係，以及最重要的是對歷史學介入的背景進行詮釋的寶貴資訊。它有助於批判性地檢視殖民偏見及其繼承的敘事，並在傳統上對VOC作為“商人”組織的回響視角背景下，提供了對這一開創性定居點的瞥見。
