Forgeot, André-Nicolas
French Jesuit missionary in China (1716-1761). Autograph document signed. Co-signed by Jean-Sylvain de Neuvialle, superior of the French Jesuit China mission, Macau, 2. X. 1751.
By the writer of one of the earliest and most reliable accounts of Father Attimis and Henriques’ martyrdom.
An oath renouncing the practice of the Chinese rites, taken by the Jesuit missionary as required by the Papal Bull "Ex Quo Singulari" (1742). The oath was sworn on the Bible, and a signed autograph ("manu propria") of the formula had to be produced as evidence. Most of these documents are co-signed by church officials or superior friars as witnesses to an oath sworn in their presence ("in manibus meis"), in this case the superior of the French mission, Jean-Sylvain de Neuvialle (1696-1764).
