| Summary |
Remedius Prutky, Franciscan missionary, was in 1751 appointed to vice-prefect of a mission sent to Ethiopia in response to an invitation by the then emperor, Iyasu II; with two colleagues he left Cairo in August and reached Massawa in November. After some delay he was summoned to Gondar, which he reached in March, and, largely by his expertise in medicine, began to make friends among the court and the clergy. But the Coptic archbishop at Gondar soon prevailed upon the weak Emperor to expel the missionaries, who thus spent only nine months at Gondar, and seventeen months in the country altogether.
