Giulio Aleni, an Italian-born Jesuit, lived in China for nearly four decades, arriving in 1613 and remaining there until his death in 1649. Mastering the Chinese language, Aleni wrote a number of religious and scientific treatises in China and founded several Christian missions there. These prints come from a book Aleni published in the Fujian Province to help in his conversion efforts.
