Description
This Translation and Annotation of Father Monserrate's Commentary on the first Jesuit Mission to Akbar owes everything to the careful editing of the S., Latin text carried through by Father H. Hosten, S.J . and published in the Memoirs of the Asiatic Society of Bengal (Vol. III, pp. 513-704). Father Hosten's marginal notes and "apparatus criticus" have also proved of great value, and have been freely drawn upon. The annotator wishes to take this opportunity of expressing his thanks to Mr. H. Beveridge for his notes in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, which have been frequently consulted, and to Mr. S. Kumar, Superintendent of the Imperial Library, Calcutta, for help given in finding references. Mughal-Library
