The evangelization of the Philippines constitutes a beautiful facet of the Hispanic-missionary epic. This is the main theme of this story of Fr. Ribadeneira, who in engaging and entertaining language tells us the customs, rites and ceremonies of the Gentiles and the Christianizing adventures of our missionaries in those distant lands, where they left without another viaticum than the faith in Jesus Christ and the love of souls. This interesting missionary history, more than 700 pages, is preceded by a documented prologue by the illustrious Father Juan R. de Legisima, OFM, under whose direction this edition was carried out, and contains numerous explanatory notes, several illustrative graphs and an extensive bibliography – In cloth, 30 pesetas
