Girolamo Maiorica (b.1591-Nghe An, 1656) was a Jesuit missionary to Asia in Vietnam.[1]
Maiorica, often given the Portuguese name Jerônimo Majorica, arrived in Cochinchina in 1624 on the same boat as Alexandre de Rhodes. Unlike Rhodes he was not one of the students of Francisco de Pina (1585–1625) but learnt Vietnamese at the Jesuit residence at Quy Nhon (known as Pulo Cambi in Portuguese) in Binh Dinh.[2] He was the first Roman Catholic in Vietnam to produce texts using the vernacular Vietnamese language written in demotic chu nom script, rather than use chu Han Chinese.[3][4] He left a significant body of writings[5] preserved at the French Bibliothèque nationale in Paris.[6]
