Their life
Huỳnh Tịnh Của, also written Paulus Huình Tịnh Của, lived from 1834 to 1907. He was a Vietnamese Confucian scholar. The records available do not give his birthplace or the place of his death.
He studied and translated works from several traditions, including European texts, classical Chinese writings, and works in Nôm, the older script for Vietnamese. He rendered these into Quốc Ngữ, the romanized form of modern Vietnamese.
Like Trương Vĩnh Ký, a fellow Confucian scholar, Của converted to Catholicism. He also worked for the French colonial government of Cochinchina, where he translated judicial papers.
