Summary
This chapter brings into focus the Spanish Augustinian missionaries who, from their operational base in Manila, Philippines, attempted to establish an apostolic presence in southern China in the late 1680s and early 1700s. Their testimonies render an intimate, first-hand insight into the physical and economic penuries of the missionaries; the attitudes of the Augustinian order towards foreign cultures; the administrative and political difficulties they encountered; the adaptation to local circumstances of the missionaries’ education and operational experience acquired prior to passing to China; and the role of the Philippines and New Spain as an essential lifeline and as a crossroads of communication between China and the rest of the Spanish empire.
