Abstract

The Late Medieval Mission under John de Monte Corvino.

The next entrance of Christianity into China came six and a half centuries after the beginning of the Nestorian missions, when the great Mongolian Empire had been established, when the Roman Papacy was in the height of its power, and when, as a result of the crusades, the interest of Western Europe in the East was still very much alive.
