Martin Ignacio de Loyola

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martín Ignacio de Loyola , originally Martín Ignacio Martinez de Mallea , (* around 1550 in Eibar , Spain , † 1606 (according to other information: 1605 or 1616) in Buenos Aires ) was a Spanish Franciscan . As a missionary , he traveled around the world twice in the years 1580–1584 and 1585–1589 and is therefore considered the first person to sail around the world in a west and east direction, as well as - after Maestre Anes - as the second person to see the world traveled twice. Martin de Loyola, who served as a missionary in China for a long time , was ordained a priest in 1572 . He was a great-nephew of St. Ignatius of Loyola .

Loyola's account of his first trip around the world appeared in 1586 in Rome in a book by Juan González de Mendoza entitled Historia de las cosas más notables, ritos y costumbres del gran reyno de la China (“Report on the most remarkable things, rites and Customs of the Great Empire of China ”). In 1595, six years after his second return to Spain, Loyola traveled via Panama , Peru and Chile to Paraguay , whose Spanish governor Garcia de Loyola was his cousin. After returning to Spain in 1600, he was sent to Asunción three years later as bishop .
