Description
This scholarly work presents a detailed historical narrative of Jesuit missionary activities in the court of Emperor Jahangir during the early 17th century. The text documents the complex relationship between Portuguese Jesuits and the Mughal Empire, exploring religious, diplomatic, and cultural interactions.
The book features a comprehensive account of Benedict Goes’ extraordinary travels across Asia, tracing his journey through Central Asia and his attempts to establish connections between the Jesuit missions in India and China. Additionally, it covers the Jesuit mission to Pegu (modern-day Bago, Myanmar), providing valuable historical documentation of early Christian missionary efforts in Southeast Asia.
Translated by C. H. Payne from the original work by Father Fernao Guerreiro, this text serves as an important primary source for understanding Mughal-European relations, the role of the Jesuits in Asian history, and the broader context of early modern global interactions.
