Truong, Anh Thuan (author)

Based on the original materials recorded by the missionaries of the Society of Foreign Missions of Paris operating in Vietnam from the second half of the 17th century to the late 18th century and the achievements of French and Vietnamese scholars, this article addresses the building of indigenous force of missionaries of the Society of Foreign Missions of Paris in Tonkin and Cochinchina (Vietnam) during this period. In particular, the author of this article focuses on comparing the results of training Vietnamese priest resources and building seminaries in the two above areas, and at the same time points out the reason for such difference. To complete the content of this article, the author combines two main research methods of historical science (historical method and logical method) with other research methods (systematic, statistical, differential analysis, synthetic, etc.), especially the comparative method. The research result presented in the article makes specific contributions to studying the history of Christianity in Vietnam and the Society of Foreign Missions of Paris in this country in the 17th and 18th centuries.

• Title: Pariška družba zunanjih misijonov in vzpostavljanje domorodne misijonarske sile : študija o Vietnamu v 17. in v 18. stoletju

Abstract

Na podlagi izvirnega gradiva, ki so ga ustvarili misijonarji Pariške družbe zunanjih misijonov, delujoči v Vietnamu v drugi polovici 17. stoletja in do poznega 18. stoletja, in na podlagi dosežkov francoskih in vietnamskih preučevalcev se članek posveča vzpostavljanju domorodne misijonarske sile pod okriljem Pariške družbe zunanjih misijonov ter v Tonkinu in Cochinchini (Vietnam) v tem obdobju. Avtor članka se posebej osredotoča na primerjanje rezultatov in osvetljuje razloge za razlike pri oblikovanju nabora vietnamskih duhovnikov in pri grajenju semenišč na omenjenih področjih. Kot dopolnitev vsebine članka avtor združuje dve glavni raziskovalni metodi zgodovinske znanosti (zgodovinska metoda in logična metoda) z drugimi raziskovalnimi metodami (sistematična, statistična, diferencialna analiza, sinteza itd.), zlasti s primerjalno metodo. Raziskovalni rezultat članka je nov prispevek pri preučevanju krščanstva v Vietnamu in dejavnosti Pariške družbe zunanjih misijonov, namenjene Vietnamu v 17. in v 18. stoletju.
