Hardback. Jeronimo Lobo, The Hakluyt Society. Condition remarks:Book: Good , ex-libraryJacket: Chipped and worn with some minor damagePages: Good Markings: Ex-library with usual markingsA landmark work of seventeenth-century travel literature and historical memoir, The Itinerario of Jeronimo Lobo chronicles the remarkable journeys of a Portuguese Jesuit missionary across Africa, Asia, and the Americas, with particular focus on his years spent in Ethiopia. Written with vivid detail and firsthand authority, Lobo presents an eyewitness account of Ethiopian society, religion, politics, and geography at a time when the country remained largely unknown to European audiences. The narrative uncovers the tensions between the Jesuit mission and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, offering an intimate portrait of a civilization caught between indigenous tradition and the pressures of Catholic conversion. Lobo's prose carries the confident, observational tone of a seasoned traveler and scholar, making the text as much a work of ethnography as personal adventure. First translated into English by a young Samuel Johnson in 1735, this account holds a distinguished place in both Portuguese literature and the broader canon of early modern exploration writing.
