This volume is based on the memoirs of the Augustinian friar Sebastien Manrique’s expedition to South and Southeast Asia from ad 1590-1600. The biographical account begins with the intricate details about the Portuguese colony of Goa, which Manrique calls ‘Golden Goa’. The author narrates Manrique’s visit to a Jesuit-run hospital in Goa, his pilgrimage to Bom Jesus Basilica, and the embalmed mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier, the revered Roman Catholic saint of Goa. The memoir describes the Jesuit missionary’s visit to the Mughal court under Akbar, Manrique's meeting with Roberto de Nobili and other Augustinian friars, and his visit to Bengal, around Hooghly, where an Augustinian monastery was located.
Maurice Collis was an English officer and a profound writer. He served as an administrator in Burma, which at that time was a British colony. After entering into the Indian Civil Service, he served in Palestine in 1917.
