Madagascar

Petitions for missionary patents

Letter from the nuncio to France, Nicolò Guidi di Bagno to PF. He asks for missionary patents for the Madagascar mission for seven candidates, so that Vincent de Paul can send them when the next ship is ready to depart (which is only once every year or two). The proposed candidates are: Nicolò Duport, Claudio [Claude] Dufour, Francesco Bissain, Edmondo Deschamps, Francesco [François] Mousnier, Antonio [Antoine] Maillard and Gioanni Dauid. During the general meeting of 20 December 1650 the cardinals decide to have Vincent de Paul send (via the nuncio) more specific information regarding who and how many of the candidates listed above, they plan to send to Madagascar.
