دانلود کتاب Dialogo sulla missione degli ambasciatori giapponesi alla curia romana e sulle cose osservate in Europa e durante tutto il viaggio

basato sul diario degli ambasciatori e tradotto in latino da Duarte de Sande, sacerdote della Compagnia di Gesù.
"In 1579 Valignano arrives in Japan to reorganize the Jesuit mission of the East and discovers an unexpected country of ancient and refined culture. With the support of the Japanese nobles [he] organizes a trip to Europe with four young Japanese aristocrats; their stories make up the corpus, shown here in its first and only Italian translation. De Mission is a work that surprises with its modernity, intent to weave a "culture of dialogue", almost to want to point the way to a civil society." - publisher website. Includes introductory texts (pages v-49) and postface (pages 547-606).
Based on the diaries of four Japanese ambassadors to the Roman Curia of the Holy See, originally collected and transcribed by Alessandro Vignano and translated from Japanese into Latin by Duarte de Sande. Originally published in Macau in 1590.
