The Marsden Mss. and Indian Mission Bibliography
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 December 2009
Extract
In 1910 I published in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, August number, pp. 437–61, under the title of “The Marsden MSS. in the British Museum”, some notes by W. Rees Philipps and H. Beveridge on some remarkable treasures once in the Jesuit Archives of Goa and now in the British Museum. These MSS., comprising ten volumes (Add. MSS. 9852–61), contain original letters by the Jesuit Missionaries in India and the farther East, addressed mostly to the Provincial of Goa, before the suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1757 by the Marquess de Pombal. Some of the documents refer, however, to Cochin and Southern India, these portions of the mission field having belonged to Goa till the beginning of the sixteenth century.

It is most unlikely that Ethiopic books were sent to Cochin, since the Ethiopic Missions were managed from Goa. One would expect that large consignments of the books in the libraries of the different Convents of Cochin were shipped to Holland about 1662–3. It is sure, however, that the Jesuits could not save their Cochin Archives. Father Fernão de Queyroz writes, I believe in his “Life of Brother Peter de Bastos”, that the only thing saved from them was a MS. of that Life by the Provincial, Andrew Lopez.
