Charles Henry Quentin

QUENTIN, Charles Henry (kan-tang), French missionary, born in Bordeaux in 1621 ; died in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1683. He became a Jesuit, went in his youth to South America, and was attached to the missions of the Amazon. He became afterward visitor of the order, founded several missions in the provinces of Sao Paulo and Minas Geraes, built schools and convents, and labored much to improve the condition of the Indians. He left several manuscripts, both in French and Spanish, which are now in the National library of Paris. One of them has been published under the title "Journal de la mission du pere Charles Quentin dans la terre du Bresil, de 1670 a 1680" (2 vols., Paris, 1852). It contains curious and interesting details of the early stages of the Portuguese conquest and the Indians of southern Brazil.
