Abstract

In the late 11th century, two mysterious “Roman” embassies visited China and offered tribute to the Song Dynasty. This paper seeks to reopen the argument surrounding the identity of the Roman embassies. The question enjoyed intense discussions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, before interest waned thereafter. Relying on a broad range of underused sources, this paper re-assesses the two most widely acknowledged theories that associate the embassies with the aims of the Byzantine pretender Nikephoros Melissenos and of the Seljuk prince in exile Sulaymān ibn Qutlumush.

中国与两个罗马。1081年和1091年驻宋“福林”使节

11世纪末，两个神秘的“罗马”大使馆访问中国，向宋朝进贡。本文试图重新展开关于罗马大使馆身份的争论。这个问题在19世纪末和20世纪初受到了激烈的讨论，之后人们的兴趣减弱。根据大量未被充分利用的资料，本文重新评估了两种最为广泛认可的理论，这两种理论将大使馆与拜占庭伪装者Nikephoros Melissenos和塞尔柱流亡王子Sulaymān ibn Qutlumush的目标联系起来。
