Description
Jahangir and the Jesuits presents a comprehensive historical examination of the religious and diplomatic encounters between the Mughal court under Emperor Jahangir and European Jesuit missionaries during the early 17th century. The text, edited by the renowned historians Sir E. Denison Ross and Eileen Power, provides primary source documentation of these significant cross-cultural interactions.
A major portion of the work focuses on the remarkable journey of Benedict Goes, a Jesuit lay brother who traveled the Silk Road seeking an overland route to China. The narrative details his expedition, the challenges he faced, and his ultimate contributions to geographical knowledge. Additionally, the book covers the Jesuit mission to Pegu (modern-day Myanmar), documenting efforts to establish Christian presence in Southeast Asia.
This scholarly work offers valuable insights into Mughal-European relations, religious exchange, and early modern exploration during a pivotal period in Asian history.
