Joseph Aubery (born at Gisors in Normandy, 10 May 1673; died at Saint-François, Quebec, Canada, 2 July 1755 was a French Jesuit missionary in Canada. Chateaubriand reproduces the life-story of Father Aubery in the character of the missionary in his ''Atala''. ==Life== Joseph Aubery was born 10 May 1673 at Gisors in Normandy. At the age of seventeen he entered the Society of Jesus, and for four years studied in Paris. He arrived in Canada in 1694 and completed his studies at Quebec where he was also instructor for five years, and where he was ordained in September 1699.〔(Johnson, Micheline D., "Aubery, Joseph". ''Dictionary of Canadian Biography'', vol. 3, University of Toronto/Université Laval, 1974 )〕 He studied the Abenaki language at the Sault de la Chaudière mission. An unpublished French-Abenaki dictionary came to light in the twentieth century.〔''Father Aubery's French Abenaki Dictionary'', an English translation, Chisholm Bros. Publishing (1995)Colin A.J. Chisholm, III K.M. President, ISBN 1-56798-004-X, ISBN 978-1-56798-004-2.〕 Assigned to the Abenaki mission, he re-established in 1701 the mission at Medoctec. It was on the Saint John River, at Hay's Creek,〔("The Peter Paul Case", Carleton County Historical Society, Inc. )〕 and appears to have been abandoned by the Franciscans about a year earlier.〔(Spillane, Edward. "Joseph Aubery." The Catholic Encyclopedia ) Vol. 2. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1907. 2 November 2015〕 The mission was named for St. Francis de Sales. In 1709 he was given charge of the Abenaki reduction at St. François.〔 Aubery helped negotiate between the English and the Indians the Treaty of Casco in June 1727, obtaining better terms than those offered the year before. He remained at the St. Francis mission for nearly half a century. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joseph Aubery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
