João Rodrigues’s account of sixteenth-century Japan
| Resumo: | With João Rodrigues’s Account of Sixteenth-Century Japan, Michael Cooper is back on the trail of someone he helped to recover from the past. This new work consists of an annotated translation of the two books of Rodrigues’s Historia on Japanese life and culture and is a welcome addition to This Island of Japon. Though excluding the entire part that deals with missionary history, Cooper offers a careful edition of what he recognizes as the extant most important study of Japanese life among European reports on Japan in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. |
