SCHALL, JOHANN ADAM VON (1591-1666)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 312 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SCHALL, JOHANN ADAM VON (1591-1666) , Jesuit missionary in
China
 ,
born
  of
noble
  parents in
Cologne
 . At the age of twenty he joined the Society of Jesus, and in 1628 went out to
China
 . Apart from successful missionary
work
 , he became the trusted counsellor of the emperor, was created a
mandarin
 , and held an important
post
  in connexion with the mathematical school. His position enabled him to procure from the emperor permission for the
Jesuits
  to build churches and to preach throughout the
country
 . Proselytes to the number of 1oo,000 are said to have been obtained within fourteen years. The emperor, however, died in 1661, and Schall's circumstances at once changed. He was imprisoned and condemned to death. The sentence was not carried out, but he died after his
release
  owing to the privations he had endured. A collection of his MS. remains was deposited in the Vatican Library.
