| Summary: | In the 17th century, the Spanish Franciscans, remained active in China as an important missionary force. With unremitting efforts, they gradually established their own mission in the provinces of Shandong, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, etc., and achieved outstanding results. However, these missionaries dedicated to the religious enterprise were bound to encounter many economic difficulties, not only to secure the missionaries’ own primary living conditions, but also to carry out missionary activities. For a long time, researchers paid relatively little attention to the economic dilemmas of missionaries, especially those related to the Franciscans. This work tries to utilize the missionary letters and reports to analyze the economy of the Spanish Franciscans in China during the 17th century. La economía de la misión franciscana española en china durante el siglo xvii: fuentes de financiación, gastos, préstamos y déficits: En el siglo XVII, los franciscanos españoles permanecían activos en China como una fuerza misionera muy importante. Con esfuerzos incansables, establecieron gradualmente sus propias misiones en las provincias de Shandong, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, etc., y lograron resultados sobresalientes. Sin embargo, estos misioneros dedicados a la empresa religiosa encon-traron muchas dificultades económicas, no solo para garantizar las condiciones básicas de la vida diaria, sino también para llevar a cabo las actividades misioneras. Durante mucho tiempo, los investigadores han prestado relativamente poca atención a los dilemas económicos de los misioneros, especialmente esos relacionados con los franciscanos. El presente trabajo intenta utilizar las cartas e informes misioneros, y analizar la economía de los franciscanos españoles en China durante el siglo XVII. |
