Two Missionary Accounts of Southeast Asia in the Late Seventeenth Century

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

The two texts presented here – the Jesuit Guy Tachard’s Relation de Voyage Indes (1690–99) and the Augustinian Nicola Cima’s Relatione Distinta delle Regni di Siam, China, Tunchino e Cocincina (c.1707) – are described by Halikowski Smith as ‘examples of profane literature’: Cima offers a tour of market and business opportunities across the East Indies; while Tachard’s <i>Voyage</I> is akin to modern, personalized travel literature.
