Abstract
The Rev M.C. Vos (1759-1825), born at the Cape, clergyman in The Netherlands, at the Cape and Sri Lanka, is known as an initiator of the mission in South Africa. His life is mostly based on his autobiography Merkwaardig verhaal (1824). Some factual historical remarks learn, however, that his autobiography is far from a virtual (auto)biography, it is his story of God’s guidance in his life and an incentive to a religious revival.

Hij werd beroepbaar gesteld, maar zijn poging, door Bewindhebbers van de VOC aangesteld te worden tot predikant voor Kaapstad, mislukte door “den verregaande tegenstand van dien Amsterdamsche Gedeputeerde” in het classicale Deputaatschap over Indische Zaken, die waarschuwde voor de dweper Vos.[12]
