Hi,
Thanks for having this valuable Website for China researchers.
I saw an entry (see below) that states Giovanni Rasori translated Staunton’s Ta Tsing Leu Lee into Italian in 1812. I hav seen the original Italian edition but did not find any information about its translation, and Wordcat catalogue does not identify any translator of this Italian edition as well. I am wondering whether you know who prepared the entry for your Website or who has identified Giovanni Rasori as the Italian translator of that work. As I am studying Staunton’s translation, I would like to make sure that I am not making a mistake in relying on the entry to identify Giovanni Rasori as the translator. I would very much appreciate any tips or lead as to the original source of this entry. Thank you very much.

In 1812, Giovanni Rasori prepared an Italian edition of Staunton’s translation of the Da Qing lüli:
Ta-Tsing-Leu-Lee o sia Leggi fondamentali del Codice penale della China, stampato e promulgato a Pekin coll’autorità di tutti gl’Imperatori Ta-Tsing, della presente dinastia, 3 vols. (Milan: Stamperia di Giovanni Silvestri, 1812)
