This is not a separate work: it is the entry on Joachim Bouvet inside the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia, the same editors, led by Charles George Herbermann, and the same year as this atlas's separate Catholic Encyclopedia record. It descends from that encyclopedia rather than standing beside it, and citing both together is one witness, not two independent ones, since a claim resting on this entry and a claim resting on the encyclopedia at large are the same 1913 editorial voice appearing twice under two atlas records. Its own real limit is the encyclopedia's own limit: it predates over a century of subsequent scholarship on Bouvet's Jesuit mission to China and his correspondence with Leibniz, so a claim resting on current scholarship needs a more recent source alongside it. Use it for what this specific 1913 entry states about Bouvet; treat a citation to it and to the Catholic Encyclopedia together as a single source, not corroboration.

Reliability Tier2
Reliability tier 2: an entry in a 1913 edited encyclopedia, an editorially reviewed reference work of its own period rather than current peer reviewed scholarship, suited to what that period's editors recorded rather than to present day historiography. NotesA dedicated scholarly reference entry on the French Jesuit missionary and Yijing scholar Joachim Bouvet, stating he was born at Le Mans, France; the existing sources cover his Yijing scholarship, not his biography.
