About this Item

xii, 272p. Engraved frontispiece "Il venerabil vescovo Clement Ignazio Delgado ed i suoi compagni dell' ordine di S. Domenico martirizzati al Tunchino nella sanguinosa persecuzione cominciata l'anno 1838". Marginal stains on title, frontispiece and prelims.

The missions of the Dominican Order of Preachers were fostered, on the one hand, by the Portuguese conquests in Africa and the East Indies and, on the other, by the Spanish conquests in America. Dominican evangelization went from America to the Philippines (1586) and thence to China (1590); the Preachers established themselves in Japan (1601) and in Tonking (present day Vietnam) in 1676.
