• Riccius Mattheus “Dei solida ratio” Sinice. In 4°. X.(9).19
• Sanbiasius Franciscus. “De Animae Dotibus”. Sinice in 4°. X.(7.)7.
  The work follows Aristotle’s theory of the three types of souls—the vegetative soul, the sensitive soul of animals, and the rational soul of humans—while integrating Augustine’s theory of the three functions of the soul. It argues that the study of the soul is the most beneficial and significant discipline in philosophy, with the purpose of knowing oneself and recognizing one’s origin, ultimately leading to the worship of God and the salvation of the soul. The book also incorporates Confucian thought into soul theory, using it to understand worldly affairs and, by extension, to cultivate the family, govern the state, and bring peace to the world.
