In 1552, St. Francis Xavier died on the island of Sancian without setting foot on mainland China. In 1700, the German Jesuit Kaspar Castner was sent to build a tomb for Francis Xavier on Sancian. Castner wrote a report on this period, which is presented here for the first time in a modern scholarly translation into German, English and Chinese.
