Rich observations, as yet unaffected by the later racist or colonialist mythologies. Pelliot, Cordier 24. Morisson II, 235. Pei-t'ang 646. (See John Lust , Western Books on China, item 71 and 443 ). (De Backer Sommervogel VII ,1114). The manucript was written by Semedo in Goa in 1638. It was first published in Spanish in 1642 by Manuel de Faria y Sousa. This French translation is probably by P. Gilbert Girault. price: €1425.00 |
