English versions of the writings of Saint Antoine Daveluy after his arrival in Korea contained in the IRFA Archive.

A.   Preface, the Life of Daveluy, a brief presentation of his writings, and full extracts from his letters tracing the evolution of his work on the Korean martyrs. MSWord   PDF

Bishop Daveluy arrived in Korea in 1845. He lived there for over 20 years. He  wrote and translated much about Korean Church history, as well as writing a large number of letters to colleagues and family. Of all the canonized Korean saints, his Archive is unique in the breadth it covers and the insight it offers into the origins and life of a missionary at that time. It would be proper to have all his preserved texts published both in French and in English.
