 <\/p>\n

According to the publisher, the book highlights a series of requests that Verbiest, as the China Mission’s vice provincial, issued to Superior General Giovanni Paolo Oliva in 1680.\u00a0 Verbiest’s requests, “which partly repeat longstanding complaints from the mission, posed again on the occasion of its centennial jubilee and at a moment when opportunities appeared limitless, yet constrained by the juridical and structural framework of the Vice-Province.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“More than in any other document,” as the publisher notes, “these\u00a0postulata<\/em>\u00a0show that Verbiest deserved the title of \u2018pillar of the mission\u2019, for his talent at forceful argumentation, using all possible means to strengthen the China mission\u2019s position, especially by freeing it from the Japan Province and promoting it to the level of a full Province within within the Society of Jesus.”<\/u><\/p>\n
