JapSin I, 154
Huguang Shengji 湖廣聖蹟.
By an anonymous author.
Manuscript, one juan (seven folios). Chinese bamboo paper in one volume. 24.8 x 14.7 cm.

The cover bears the title in ink and a Latin inscription: “Mirabilia Provinciae Hu Quam.” The title page bears a note in two lines: “In the eleventh month of the nineteenth year of Kangxi (1680), Father Mu (Jacques Motel, Diwo 迪我, zi 惠吉, 1618–1692) of the Catholic church of Wuchang Fu 武昌府 in Huguang, went to give a mission in De’an Fu 德安府. The faithful of this locality were very devoted servants of God. For this reason the Lord of Heaven worked a number of miracles in this region.”

The manuscript consists of seven folios with Arabic numbers. Five miracles are recorded. At the end there is a letter from Vitus Wei 魏味多 (cf. Jap-Sin I, 138) to Filippucci, informing him of an appearance of the Cross at the sky in Zini village 紫泥鄉 of Shunde district 順德縣 (Guangdong). At the end of the letter the date is given, but only half of the line is legible, namely: “sealed and sent on the eighth day of the . . . month.”
