Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALENIO, GIULIO (1582-1649) , Italian Jesuit missionary, was born at Brescia. He entered the Society of Jesus and was sent to the
East
 . He landed at Macao in 161o, and while waiting a favourable opportunity to penetrate into
China
  busied himself for three years in teaching
mathematics
 . His thirty years' residence in
China
  was marked by unceasing zeal and considerable success. He adopted the dress and manners of the country, was the first
Christian
  missionary in Kiang-si, and built several churches in Fo-Kien. He wrote in
Chinese
  a
Life
  of Christ (Pekin, 1635-1637, 8 vols.; often reprinted, e.g. in 1887 in 3 vols., and used even by
Protestant
  missionaries) and a cosmography (Iche
fang
  wai ki Hang-chow, 1623, 6 vols.), which was translated into Manchu under the
title
  The True Origin of 10,000 Things, a copy of which was sent from Pekin to Paris in 1789.
Alenio
  died at Fu-chow in 1649.
