Carcereri, Paolo Stanislao
Paolo Stanislao Carcereri (1840 - 1899) was an Italian Camillian missionary who helped to establish the first Christian presence in the Sudan and the White Nile region. Along with fellow missionaries, he set out from Khartoum in 1871 and spent the next two years traveling throughout Upper Egypt and Sudan, establishing a mission station at El-Obeid, and eventually reaching as far as Kordofan. Afterwards, he published a map of the region that was far superior to earlier maps and won plaudits from the geographic community throughout Europe.
