Abstract
In the scholarly literature there has been a widespread opinion that Nguyen Truong To was a man of exceptionally broad knowledge in the area of Western learning. According to many authors, when he was young he received a thorough education in Western sciences from the French missionaries, which allegedly started in 1848. In this paper the author tries to prove that the above-mentioned opinion lacks any base in the available sources. On the contrary, the sources warrant the conclusion that in fact, Nguyen Truong To received principally the classical Confucian education, and that the missionaries just taught him for a short time and only on the common level. This circumstance allows to have doubts about the claim that he really was highly knowledgeable in the Western learning.
