Abstract

application/pdf

This article focuses on the socio-political situation of the Christian community in North Vietnam(Tonkin)during the Tayson dynasty of 1788-1802.The main source used is a collection of manllscript letters written by French Missionaries of the Societe des Missions Etrangeres de Paris(MEP)who administered the Vicariat of Western Tonkin from the XVIIth to the XXth centuries.    In previous research the image of the Tayson dynasty as a “persecutor”of Christianity has been amplified by emphasizing the “1egitimacy”of Nguyen Phuoc Anh(院福瑛), the founder of the Nguyen dynasty which lasted from 1802-1945, and by uncritical and repetitive citation of secondary sources.    New material from the archives of MEP shows however that it was during the reign of Tayson Emperor Quang Trung(光中帝)that the liberty of Christianity was assured more firmly than ever in Tonkin. Many clerical systems were introduced to the Vicariat of Western Tonkin under the direction of Bishop Longer, and furthermore there were always several high ranking mandarin officers of the Tayson government who protected the Missionaries and Christians, especially in the province of Nghe An.     The Tayson era was a particularly formative period of the Christian community in North Vietnam as it developed under and endured suppression in the XIXth century.
