The first English translation of the standard work on the missionary work of the Lazarists (or Vincentians) in China, 1697-1935. Translated from French by Henk De Cuijper. It lists every missionary of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists/Vincentians) sent to China, with his European and Chinese names, if known, as well as Chinese members of the Congregation. Brief biographical sketches of the 964 Missioners, in chronological order, were updated from official documents after the death or departure of each one, information not listed in the original work.
