It is my great privilege and pleasure to introduce the present issue of the journal Asian Studies. This is a special issue devoted to the topic of European Jesuits in China, and it is dedicated to Professor Mitja Saje and his academic and scientific research work. Professor Saje is one of the three co-founders of the Department of Asian Studies (formerly Asian and African Studies), which was established at the University of Ljubljana in 1995. Until his retirement ( July 2015), he was a constant presence in the Department and one of its guiding spirits over the last twenty years. Possessed of an enormous respect for Chinese culture, he contributed significantly not only to the academic development of the Department, but also to promoting that culture in Slovenia as a whole. Professor Saje is specialised in traditional and modern Chinese history, politics and economy. His four volume study of Chinese history is the most comprehensive and important work of its kind in the Slovenian language. It is, in fact, a pioneering work in Slovenian sinology, and provides both a chronological exposition of this complex subject from the earliest times to the founding of the People’s Republic of China, as well as thorough and penetrating analyses of the many socio-political factors which influenced the development of Chinese society.
