A little French book in the genre of Books of Secrets introduced Europeans to the ancient pulse medicine of the Far East. It came from anonymous Jesuit missionaries who can now be identified for the first time. Their presentation of the supposed Chinese method adapted text and commentary to European expectations, grabbing the attention of members of the Dutch East India Company. They and members of new societies for the study of nature in France, Germany, and England published four related books as well. Curiosity about the ancient foundations of knowledge of the body connected people in Asia and Europe.
