Joseph Henri Marie de Prémare

Joseph Henri Marie de Prémare (1666 - 1736) was a Jesuit missionary to China. Born in Cherbourg, he departed for China in 1698, and worked as a missionary in the Guangxi region. In 1724, after the Chinese Rite Controversy, he was confined with his colleagues in Canton, and later banished to Macau, where he died. His "Notitia linguae sinicae" is the first important Chinese grammar in Europe. His letters can be found in the "Lettres édifiantes et curieuses de Chine" series.
