The Chinese Rites Controversy from Its Beginning to Modern Times, George Minamiki's 1985 scholarly history from Loyola University Press, is the standard academic history of the Jesuit Dominican dispute over Chinese ancestor and Confucian rites, from its origins through the 1704 and 1715 papal condemnations to the 1939 reversal under Pius XII. Its strength is that it is squarely the Ancestor Veneration fact's own subject, spanning the whole controversy to its resolution. Its limit is that a single volume synthesis of a centuries long dispute compresses individual episodes; a claim about one specific missionary's position should be checked against the primary correspondence the book itself draws on.
