"César Guillén Nuñez has written a very interesting and much-needed book. For non-specialists, this is a fascinating glimpse into Jesuit operations in Asia in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and it will be very welcome also to specialists in architecture of the early modern world. He has set the stage for the building very well." – Catherine Zerner, Professor of History of Art and Architecture, Brown University
"This work is of exceptional importance as it rescues from oblivion a stellar example of the world's vanishing cultural heritage. A model of scholarly research, it places the Jesuit church of St. Paul in Macao in its rightful position of pre-eminence. The author's sensitive analysis, including useful comparisons with contemporary examples of churches in Goa, India as well as in other Portuguese colonies, permits a good understanding of the special role that was played by the Church of St. Paul as a source of inspiration for later examples of religious architecture. Without a doubt, this book will remain an indispensable source for future studies in the field." – Dr. Humberto Rodríguez-Camilloni, Professor of Architecture and Director, Henry H.
