Rhodes (Alexandre de). Tunchinensis Histori? libri duo, quorum altero status temporalis hujus regni. Altero mirabiles Evangelic? Pr?dicationis progressus referuntur. Coept? per patres Societatis Jesu, ab Anno 1627 ad Annum 1646, 2 parts in one, 1st Latin ed., Lyon, Joan Bapt Devenet, 1652, vign. title-page, folding eng. map, eng. head-pieces and initial letters, lightly browned and foxed, 18th c. calf, rebacked preserving orig. gilt dec. spine (rubbed), corners showing, sm.4to. This important early work on Vietnam was first published in French in Rome in 1650. Jesuit priest Alexandre de Rhodes (1591-1660) devoted most of his life to missionary work in Vietnam. Not only did he convert many of the people to Christianity, he also wrote the first Vietnamese catechism and had a lasting effect on Vietnamese writing. A gifted linguist, he mastered Vietnamese in only six months, compiled the first Portuguese-Latin-Vietnamese dictionary, and was one of the first to attempt to Romanize the Vietnamese alphabet. Today the national language of Vietnam, Quoc Ngu, is based on his original transliterations and phonetic work. Rhodes`smissionary work was constantly at odds with the local pagan priests and he was exiled twice and nearly sentenced to death for his teachings. Rhodes said in his reports that he converted more than 6,000 Vietnamese, almost certainly an inflated number, but nevertheless he did win converts. He also worked as a missionary in China, Macao and Persia, but his true love was for the Vietnamese people. (1)
