He organized and let an army successfully against the Taiping rebellion and recovered many cities and provinces for the Qing government. He was also a leading man in modernizing China through the import of Western technologies. In 1866 the Chinese government sent its first embassy to Europe, which also did a visit to the Krupp Company in Essen. From 1871 to 1880 China bought altogether 764 canons from Krupp using them for example in the war against the Moslems in Sinkiang. It also wanted to import whole factories from Krupp but the company refused. Li Hongzhang did his great journey to Europe and America in 1896 on occasion of an invitation to the new Czars coronation. He afterwards visited the German Kaiser and Bismarck, went to Brussels and Paris and met Queen Victoria before he travelled to Washington and Vancouver and back to Tianjin - Minor traces of age

Most probably written in Paris by a scribe who had trained in Italy: the script is a professional Italian littera bononiensis, but the decoration and some details of script (such as the use of the tironian 'et' symbol), indicate an origin in the French capital. The book was evidently completed there in the form it is now in, and the additions on fols. 89r-93v are in French hands.2. Probably from the Dominican convent of San Domenico di Guzmán, Gaeta, central Italy (founded 1229, expanded under Neapolitan royal patronage from 1308 onwards, suppressed 1809 by Napoleonic army and reused as barracks, and its goods then scattered): part of a group of eleven manuscripts of predominantly Dominican interest later owned by the Hispanic Society of America. As noted by Faulhaber, these are all in identical bindings and with similar descriptions at foot of opening leaves in scrawling hand of the previous century (here "Decretalium sextus liber bonifacii" and "C 6"); and one of these certainly from the house (Peter of Tarentaise, Commentary on Peter Lombard's Sentences with an ex libris "Iste liber est conventus sancti dominici de gayeta ordinis predicatorum" on fol. 1r and the classmark "E 5": now Yale, Beinecke, MS. 1207: see Faulhaber, no. 35). Further shared features are the nineteenth-century inscriptions on their back pastedowns (here "Foglie # 100 Miniature # 7" and "Foglie No 100 Iniziali # 7 Segnato NAP"). Many of these codices had French features, and were presumably written by, or carried by, Italian students of the University of Paris, while returning home. A number of the group had brief French descriptions of the nineteenth century (as here pasted inside front board, numbering this 'XXXI', agreeing with number on spine), and they appear to have been taken to France soon after the suppression of the house and entered the trade as a single unit there.3. Hispanic Society of America, acquired in early twentieth century (perhaps in France), their B2565 (Faulhaber, pp.127-8), with cataloguing in Spanish by A. García y García on a folded sheet of blue paper pasted to last endleaf; their sale in Christie's, 12 November 2008, lot 26. Text:The Liber sextus decretalium was commissioned by Pope Boniface VIII from Guillaume de Mandagot, bishop of Embrun, Berenger Fredoli, bishop of Beziers and Ricardo Petroni of Siena, papal vice-chancellor, as a practical collection of papal letters (also known as decretals) that contained clarification on individual points of Canon Law. It had been finished by 1298 when its pronouncements entered into law, and copies were then disseminated to universities to replace earlier textbooks. Once in use, it came to be known as the Liber sextus, as it supplements the five books of Gregory IX's Decretals, which had been promulgated in 1234. The present volume was probably ultimately copied from one produced for teaching in the University of Paris, and addresses the doctors and scholars of that institution in its opening line ("... doctoribus et scolaribus universis Parisius"). To this has been added decretals judged of some importance, but outside the official compilation (here fols. 53v-59r). These are followed by the Constitutiones clementinae (fols. 59v-81v, also called the Liber septimus decretalium), which were compiled under Pope Clement V and sent to the University of Orleans and the Sorbonne in 1314, but more widely disseminated by his successor Pope John XXII in 1317 (here prefaced by the latter's introductory letter, again addressing the doctors and scholars of Paris). The main section of the book ends with a collection of further decretals of Clement V, including those from the Council of Vienne in 1311-12 (fols. 81v-83r), as well as those of Popes Martin IV (fols. 83r-85v), and John XXII (fols. 85v-89r). To this body, hands of the late fourteenth or fifteenth century then added an anonymous text beginning "In vita bonorum et optimorum primo Ethicorum ..." (fol. 89rv), a Declaratio constitutionis 'Execrabilis' of John XXII (fols. 90r-92v), and an alphabetical subject index to the Liber sextus (fols. 93r-v). Published:A.
