Sorry, I cannot get the complete text from the pics and I am not sure about typos in your text.
In short it is a very short bios of Matteo Ricci saying that he was a Jesuit for 42 years of which he spent 28 as missionary in China where he built up missions
He died in Peking in 1610

That is really an approach only to give the rough meaning
