Abstract
The Archives des Missions etrangeres de Paris (Archives of the Foreign Missions of Paris) hold a manuscript entitled 'Dictionarium Sinico-Latinum" and catalogued as V. 1149-03 "Dictionnaire Chinois-Latin." The work is anonymous and undated but is written in a typically seventeenth- or eighteenth-century hand. In an earlier study (Coblin 2007) we concluded that the text was composed during the reign of the Yongzheng emperor (r. 1722-1735) and was probably written by a Frenchman. However, we were unable to determine where the work originated. In the present paper we shall use linguistic evidence to throw light on the regional origin of the text.
