BOXER (C.R.). THE GREAT Ship from Amacon. Lisboa. 1963. - BOXER (C.R.) THE GREAT Ship from Amacon . Annals of Macao and the Old Japan Trade, 1555-1640. Lisboa: Centro de Estudos Ultramarinos, 1963. XII, 362, [2] pp., 8 est.: il.; 230 mm. Second edition. This study focuses on the mercantile and maritime aspects of Portuguese relations with Japan between 1555 and 1640, using as its guiding thread the ”great ship” that connected Macau to Japan ( Great Ship from Amacon ). In the preface, the author notes that the book partially overlaps with two previous works, Fidalgos in the Far East, 1550-1770 (The Hague, 1948) and The Christian Century in Japan, 1549-1650 (1951), and that he sought to minimize repetitions, considering the three works complementary. The volume includes a fold-out map entitled Christianity in Japan, 1549-1650 , based on maps from Anesaki's Concordance (1930) and Cardim's Eulogies (1650), a bibliography, and an index. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
