A sequel to the volume, Akbar and the Jesuits, translated into English by C.H. Payne, in 1930, it describes the encounters of Jesuit missionaries in the Mughal court under Emperor Jahangir (r.1605-1627). The book is divided into three parts, the first part being the main theme of the book, which talks about the Jesuit account of court activities and their religious mission. The second part contains the accounts, which include the Travels of Benedict Goës and the third part is about the Jesuit mission to Pegu and the deputation of Portuguese emissaries to Goa. These parts discusses the first decades of the seventeenth century concerning the political happenings in the Mughal court and the Portuguese missions to South East and East Asia. The first part covers the infamous rebellion of Prince Salim against his father Emperor Akbar (r.1556-1605). It also covers the conversion of two Mughal princes to Christianity, the Jesuit father's mission to the Agra court, inter-faith debates between the Jesuit fathers and Muslim clergies, the Mughal king's reverence to Jesus Christ, and the neo-converts to the Christian faith. The second part of this book talks about Benedict Goës trip from Lahore, which was another Mughal capital, to Yarkand, situated in the current Xinjiang autonomous province of China, and Suchou in mainland China.
Fr. Fernão Guerreiro (1550-1617) was the Superior of the Jesuit congregation in Lisbon and a historian. He was responsible for one of the most important collections of these letters from overseas missionaries of the Order. His work, Relação Anual das Coisas que Fizeramos Padres da Campanhia de Jesus nas Partes da India [...] (Yearly Report of the Deeds Realized by the Fathers of the Society of Jesus in India [...]) was published in 1603-1611.
