§ 8° (160 x 105), 166, [2] pp., sign.: A-I8, K12. Title page with Jesuit emblem, slightly later vellum, endpapers renewed, a fine and crisp copy. First edition The Jesuit Nicolò Pimenta was born in Santarem (Portugal) and entered the Society of Jesus in 1562. Some years after he was sent as Visitor to the Eastern Indies and, shortly after, appointed governor of the provinces of Goa and Malabar
The work is a collection of letter-relations from the Jesuit missions of the Southeast Asian territories, during a long and dangerous journey to the various missions, carried out between the end of 1597 and 1599. Thus, we can observe reports from Bengal, Burma, Malacca and southern India coastal cities, such as Madras (today Chennai), Calicut (today Kozhikode) and Chandragiri.
