| Summary: | The article attempts to analyse La glorievse mort d’André catechiste de la Cochinchine, qui a la premier versé son sang pour la querelle de Iesvs-Christ, en cette nouuelle Eglise (‘A glorious death of Andrew, a catechist from Cochinchina who for the first time poured his blood for the sake of Jesus Christ in this new church’), published in Paris in 1653, a lesser-known text by Alexandre de Rhodes, one of the most important figures of the Catholic missions in what is now Vietnam. La glorievse mort is a hagiographic account of the first native Vietnamese martyr, Blessed Andrew of Phú Yên (Anrê Phú Yên), written with a clear intention to introduce a cult of a native Vietnamese Catholic as a venerated saint (albeit not yet formally canonised or beatified). The text will be examined in the context of de Rhodes’ life and missionary pursuits. |
