When Bishop Hilairo de Santa Rosa went to Macao in 1742 he took with him Father Jose Montanha and Frei Joseph de Jesus Marie. Father Montanha had been asked by the newly formed Academy of Sciences to write a history of the Church in Macao, and Frei Joseph de Jesus Maria to write about the Portuguese in Asia based on Macao. They had access to the Library and Archives of the Jesuits. Father Montanha was assisted by Brother John Alvares and six assistants, who transcribed from documents the papers now known as "The Jesuitas na Asia"; the friar wrote "Asia sinica e Japonica" while Father Montanha wrote "The Apparatus", now split into a number of volumes which are to be found in various libraries in Portugal, but some volumes are missing. The importance of this study is the fact that it contains information compiled from a quantity of source material the originals of which no longer exist. The photographic reproduction made, cover only part of the microfilm in the N.L.A. The balance has still to be printed (1971).
