(Pêro Pais) Wikipedia, January 13, 2022 (Pedro Páez; Pedro Paéz y Jaramillo, S.J.; born 1564, village of Olmeda de la Cebolla (now Olmeda de las Fuentes) near Madrid; studied at the Jesuit college in Belmonte, Cuenca; did his higher studies at the University of Alcalá (not at University of Coimbra, as long thought); around that time he entered the Society of Jesus and was later ordained a priest; offered himself up for service in the East Indies, and was sent to Goa (then part of Portuguese India) in 1588, where he served at the College of St. Paul operated there by the Jesuits; the following year King Philip II of Spain commanded some Jesuits to go to Ethipia to make contact with surviving members of a Jesuit mission there, and explore possible union of the Ethiopian Church with the Catholic Church; he set out for Ethiopia under Antonio de Montserrat, but the pair were betrayed by their accompanying native officer in Yemen and held captive 1590-1596, during which time Paez learned Arabic; they were ransomed by the Jesuits in Goa and returned to that city; upon his recovery, Paez set out again on mission, arriving at Massawa in 1603; his knowledge of Amharic and Ge'ez and Ethiopian customs impressed the young Emperor Za Dengel, who decided to converted from the Coptic Church to the Roman, setting off a civil war that ended with the emperor's death; Paez converted the successor Susenyos I to Catholicism shortly before his own death on 22 May 1622 in Gorgora, Amhara Province; some of the churches he designed are still standing; his História da Ethiópia was not published until almost three centuries after his death) |
