198 T. W. H. Tolbort —-History of the Portuguese in India. [No. 3, 
Lusiad by D. Jose Maria de Souza Botelho with most favour. In English, 
Adamson’s Life of Camoens, and Mickle’s translation of the Lusiad are best 
known. 
There is another Portuguese epic “Malaca conquistada,” of 
which Albuquerque is the hero, but this has never attained general celebrity. 
The Chronicle of L u i s d e A t a i d e, by Antonio Pereira. I have not 
seen this work, but it is quoted both by Faria y Sousa and by Lafitau. Luis de 
Ataide was twice Viceroy of India, in 1567, and again in 1578. 
D i o g o de Couto, the continuator of Barros, was a voluminous writer, 
and during his prolonged connection with Indian affairs (from 1556 to 1616) 
wrote many minor works besides his History. Among these are numerous 
orations to the incoming Viceroys. Also a Life of D. Paul de Lima, a cele¬ 
brated Portuguese Captain, who died about 1589, and an interesting treatise 
called the “ Soldado Pratico.” I have not seen any of these works, but Mr. 
Stanley in the introduotion to his ‘ £ Three voyages of Vasco da Grama” gives 
an abstract of the “ Soldado Pratico,” which is a critique on the numerous 
defects of the Portuguese administration in India. 
The Portuguese Missions to Akbar from 1582 to 1605 constitute one 
of the most interesting chapters in the History of Portuguese India. The 
account usually quoted is that by M. M anouch i, who was for many years 
Aurangzeb’s physician. I have not seen his History, but it appears to have 
been published as a separate work. According to Hough, who devotes a 
chapter to these Missions, there are valuable manuscript accounts in the 
British Museum, some it seems in the original handwriting of the Mission¬ 
aries. There are also narratives of the Mission in Murray’s Asiatic Discove¬ 
ries. There is an Italian account of Akbar and of the Jesuit Mission by 
Peruschi. 
The close of the sixteenth century is remarkable in the annals of Por¬ 
tuguese India for the attempt to reconcile the heretical Syrian Church of 
Travai^cor to Home. The chief authorities for this episode are Gouvea’s 
Jornada do Arcebispo de Goa, D. Fr. Aleixo de Meneses as Terras do Mala, 
bar; Geddes, History of the Church of Malabar ; La Croze, Histoire du 
Christianisme des Indes ; Hough’s Christianity in India ; Lee’s History of the 
Syrian Church, in one of the Church Missionary Society’s lleports ; Howard’s 
Christians of Saint Thomas ; Day’s Cochin. 
There are several other accounts, but the above contain all that is im¬ 
portant. Day’s Cochin is a valuable work generally, as Cochin was the most 
important Portuguese settlement in continental India next to Goa, and 
everything connected with it has some bearing on our subject. 
While we are on the ground of ecclesiastical history, the following 
works may be named as in some way connected with Portuguese India? 
where formerly the predominance of ecclesiastical influence was so marked.
