Note:
Philippe Couplet was a Jesuit priest who entered the Society on 11th October 1640 and was ordained on 25th November 1654. He was inspired to undertake his mission to China after hearing a speech given by Martino Marini in Leuven in 1654. He departed for China two years later and arrived in 1659. He worked in the provinces of Jiangxi, Fujian, Huguang, Zhejiang, Nanking and Suzhou, before being exiled to Guangzhou with most other missionaries in 1665. In 1680, Couple was appointed procurator of the Chinese Vice-Province and sent to Rome. He left Macau on December 5, 1681 and reached Europe on October 8, 1682. Ferdinand Verbiest had charged him to get French Jesuits for the China mission, as only Portuguese Jesuits or those who worked for Portugal had been in China. This map depicts China's 15 provinces and 155 major cities, and notes the location of the discovery of the Nestorian Stele in Shaanxi Province as well as the island where St. Francis Xavier died in Southern China. The cross next to a toponym marks the presence of a Christian Mission. The table underneath the map provide additional information by listing cities, settlements, families, temples and missionaries, etc. in each Province. This map is a statement of the influence of the Jesuit Faith in China at this time.
