Description

Explore a profound historical account with Pedro Paez's History of Ethiopia, 1622. This two-volume set, part of the Hakluyt Society Third Series, provides an annotated English translation of the original Historia da Ethiopia. Written by the Spanish Jesuit missionary Pedro Paez (1564-1622), this work offers a rare perspective from a man who served in the Portuguese padroado missions in both India and Ethiopia. During his time in Ethiopia, Paez encountered a region long associated with the legendary Prester John. His history, composed in Portuguese during the final decade of his life, is a significant primary source that survives in only two manuscripts. This edition, translated by Christopher J. Tribe, is built upon the new critical edition of the Portuguese text by Isabel Boavida, Herve Pennec, and M. This scholarly work is an essential resource for researchers, historians, and students interested in religious history, Portuguese missions, and the cultural development of Ethiopia. By providing a direct translation of these rare manuscripts, this publication preserves a vital piece of global history for modern readers.
