Recenzii
'The publication of Pedro Páez’s History of Ethiopia makes available a most valuable text for an understanding of the history of Ethiopia and of European missionary activity there in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries... Once again, the Hakluyt Society has placed students of Ethiopia deeply in its debt.' Catholic Historical Review 'The Hakluyt Society has organized an outstanding international group of critics-Isabel Boavida, Hervé Pennec, and Manuel João Ramos with Christopher J. Tribe’s English translation from Portuguese-to conduct the monumental task of successfully presenting Pedro Páez’s History of Ethiopia with numerous vivid maps and figures, detailed footnotes... Overall, this critical edition by Boavida, Pennec, Ramos, and Tribe is impeccable and exhaustively thorough. It also respects the finery between nuanced readings and in-depth close readings... Thanks to this beautifully designed edition of Pedro Páez’s History of Ethiopia, the so-called mystique and allure surrounding early modern Christian Ethiopia will come to life, opening up a new field of uncharted territory on critical studies about early European contact in sub-Saharan Africa.' Renaissance Quarterly 'Father Pedro Páez's History of Ethiopia is an invaluable, first-hand account of everyday life in a Jesuit mission to Ethiopia during the opening decades of the 1600s... This elegant and meticulous edition has invigorated the study of Ethiopian history, especially with respect to the land's political, cultural, and religious developments in the 1600s. By dint of the editors' and translators' efforts, future scholars of Ethiopia and of missionary movements the world over will benefit from the richness emanating from Father Pedro Páez's quill.' Journal of African History
Descriere
This book, in two volumes, contains the first English translation, with introduction and annotation, of the História da Etiópia by the Spanish Jesuit missionary priest Pedro Páez, 1564-1622, who worked in the Portuguese missions, first in India and then in Ethiopia, long thought to be the kingdom of the legendary Prester John. Paez's learned but often polemical work is a major contribution to the political, social, cultural and religious history of Ethiopia in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and to the history of early Portuguese and Spanish missions in Africa and India, and West European attempts to come to terms with non-European cultures.
