The Itinerario of Jeronimo Lobo translated by Donald M Lockhart from the Portguese text. Intro and notes by C F Beckingham (English, Hardcover, unknown)
Lobo (c.1595-1678) was the last survivor of the small band of Jesuit Fathers who tried, with a measure of success, to reconcile Ethiopia to the Church of Rome. This account of his travels includes his remarkable adventures at seaand on land in his attempts to reach Ethiopia, but is especially interesting for its descriptions of Lobo's nine years among the Abyssinians. Eventually exiled, he had an equally dramatic time in getting back to Europe, where he undertook diplomatic missions before finally returning to Portugal.
