Schall

Schall, JOHANN ADAMVON, was born at Cologne in 1591, and, becoming a Jesuit, was selected to lead a mission into China. He met with a favourable reception from the reigning emperor, was created a mandarin, and allowed to erect churches and convert the natives. The next sovereign, however, sentenced Schall to death and threw him into prison, where he died in 1669.
