A French Jesuit. His Chinese name was Lei Xiaosi. He joined the Society of Jesus in 1679, travelled to China in 1698, and was called to Beijing to serve at the imperial court because of his knowledge of mathematics and astronomy. In the project to create the "Complete Guide to the Imperial Palace," Regis surveyed a larger area than any other missionary, covering Mongolia, Northeast China, Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Yunnan, and Taiwan. He was also a skilled linguist, and translated the "Book of Changes" into Latin. He died in Beijing.
