Topic: 7. Sacrifices of self: Martirology and Catholic global missions (16th-18th Century)

This section presents a comprehensive collection of early modern printed sources and images that illustrate these dynamics. Additionally, it includes a thorough bibliography covering scholarly works from the 19th to 21st centuries, providing contemporary insights into the historical context and significance of these sacrifices.
