From the blurb on the back cover: "Among Macau's historic sites, surely the most impressive is the façade that has remained there since the 17th century. [.] Gonçalo Couceiro has recreated for us, based on detailed research, the cultural and religious context that made this church and its unique features. He evokes not only the church but also the St Paul's University College that it was part of, an educational institution that prepared Jesuit missionaries for Japan and China and received secular students. (.) This work will contribute to increasing understanding and sensitivity to the interaction between Asia and the West, which is one of the greatest endeavours and great challenges of our time" - Edward Malatesta. Gonçalo Couceiro Feio, born in Lisbon, has a degree in Historical Sciences, a master's degree in Modern History and a doctorate in History from the University of Lisbon, with a dissertation on military teaching and learning in Portugal and the Empire at the time of King João III and King Sebastião. This architectonical masterpiece was conceived by Carlo Spinola, before his departiure to Japan. Ex Libris. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 03666678
