Père Receveur : Franciscan, scientist and voyager with Lapérouse / Edward Duyker

Père Receveur : Franciscan, scientist and voyager with Lapérouse / Edward Duyker
Author
Duyker, Edward, 1955-
Subjects
Receveur, Claude François Joseph, 1757-1788; Franciscans; Naturalists - France - Biography.
Summary
"Although Pere Receveur's grave remains a tangible vestige of the visit of Laperouse's expedition, the enigmatic Franciscan interred within has in many respects been defined by it. For many Sydneysiders he is simply: "The Frenchman buried at La Perous in 1788". Yet from his letters home - which appear in English herein for the first time - Receveur emerges as a man of true scientific curiousity, energy, warmth and familial love. Edward Duyker shares what he has glimpsed through these records, but also the circustances of Receveur's death and the role of his tomb as a focus of community cultural and religious life."-- Back cover.
