44, EH. D. Maclagan—Jesuit Missions to the Emperor Akbar. (No. 1, 
translation which is the version most easily available is entitled 
‘ Historica Relatio de potentissimi Regis Mogor, a magno Tamerlane ori- 
undi vita moribus et summa in Christianam Religionem. propensione.... 
excerpta ex variis epistolis inde acceptis anno 1582, 91 et 95.’ The 
letters of 1595 are quoted in full and an extract is given from another 
which may bear the date of 1582 though the date is more probably 
1580: but there is no trace of the letter of 1591 unless it is in the 
account of the Mughal Empire which professes to be based on letters of 
1582 and 1592 (? 1591). Peruschi devotes only two lines to the second 
Mission of 1590-1, but his history of the first Mission of 1580—83 
remains the basis of all subsequent accounts of that Mission. 
4. In 1601 two letters written by the mission at Lahor in 
1598-9 were published by a Jesuit called John Oranus at Liége, in a col- 
lection of papers entitled: ‘Japonica, Sinensia, Mogorana, hoc est, de 
rebus apud eas gentes a Patribus Societatis Jesu anno 1598 et 99 gestis. 
A P. [oanne Orano in Latinam linguam versa.’ 
5. Another version of the same two letters was published in i601 
at Maintz in a book called: ‘ Recentissima de amplissimo Regno Chinae, 
item de statu rei Christianae apud magnum Regem Magor.’ 
6. <A letter of 1599 from the Provincial Father Pimenta at Goa, 
was published at Maintz in 1601, under the title : ‘ Nova Relatio Historica 
de Rebus in India Orientali a patribus Societatis Jesu anno 1598 et 
99 gestis.’ In the same year another Latin copy was issued at Milan, 
and an Italian version was published by Zannetti in Rome. French 
versions appeared at Antwerp and Lyons in 1601 and 1602 respectively. 
7. The report submitted by the Provincial from Goa in 1600 was 
published by Zannetti at Rome in 1602, another version in Italian appear- 
ing at Venice in the same year. A Latin version was published at 
Maintz in 1602 under the heading ‘Exemplum epistolae P. Nicholai 
Pimentae pzovinciae orientalis Indiae visitatoris...... de statu rei Chris- 
tianae in India Orientali,’ and another Latin version issued at Constance 
in 1603 under the title ‘ De felici statu et progressu rei Christianae in 
India Orientali epistola R. P. Nicolai Pimentae.’ A German translation 
had appeared at Constance in 1602 and a Portuguese copy at Lisbon in 
the same year. A French translation was published at Paris in 1603 by 
‘L. S. D. C’ under the heading ‘ Les miracles merveilleux advenus aux 
Indes Orientales.’ 
8. <A reprint of a number of Jesuit reports was published in 1605 
at Antwerp by the Scotch Jesuit controversialist, John Hay of Dalgetty, 
under the title ‘De Rebus Japonicis, Indicis et Peruanis epistolae 
recentiores...in unum librum coacervatae’. This book includes the whole 
of Peruschi’s work (No. 3 above), Pimenta’s letters of 1599 and 16090,
