Excerpts

This 1750 text, written by a Catholic missionary in Tonkin, is the earliest known systematic first-hand account of Vietnamese religious practice, including chapters on Confucianism, Buddhism, the worship of spirits, magicians, fortune tellers and diviners, and Christianity in the region. It was recently discovered in a Paris archive and will be of interest to a broad array of scholars. Includes a facsimile of the original manuscript.
Excerpted from Opusculum de Sectis Apud Sinenses et Tunkinenses: A Study of Religion in China and North Vietnam in the Eighteenth Century: A Small Treatise on the Sects among the Chinese and the Tonkinese by Adriano di Sancta Thecla
