Good condition overall.; "Nearly twenty years ago, I published a little work on similar lines entitled As viagens de Japão e os seus Capites-Mores, 1550-1640, reprinted from the serial publication Boletim Eclesiastico da diocese de Macao, July-October, 1941. Being printed in a limited edition by the Salesian Press in Macao during the war years, it naturally had an equally limited circulation, and was out of print by the end of the war. The commemoration of the fourth centenary of Macao in 1955 provided an excuse for re-writing it in a greatly expanded form. In the 1941 publication (which was in Portuguese), the first part comprised only sixteen pages, the documents in the second part occupying the remaining fifty-six. It is therefore obvious that this book is not a mere re-hash of my earlier work, but that the opportunity has been taken to include much new material, principally from the archives at Lisbon and Goa. A certain amount of overlapping with two of my previous works, Fidalgos in the Far East 1550-1770 (Hague, 1948) and The Christian Century in Japan 1549-1650 (California and Cambridge, University Press, 1951), was inevitable. I trust however, that I have reduced this to a minimum by treating as briefly as possible such topics in the present book as have been dealt with at greater length in either of the above. Moreover, the three works are complementary rather than competitive. The two former deal chiefly with the political, religious and (for want of a better word) cultural side of the early contacts between Farthest East and Farthest West, whereas the emphasis in the present work is chiefly on the mercantile and maritime aspects of the same theme. The longer and more technical documents in the second part of this book have been left in the original Portuguese, partly because I had not the time (nor, in some aspects, the competence) to translate them, but chiefly because I feel that economic historians would rather consult them in their original form than be compelled to rely on a translation which they had no means of checking." excerpt from the forwword.
