List of the letters written by the Jesuits in various places and kept in the Academy of Sciences in Lisbon in 3 vols, entitled "Letters from Japan". 168 letters. 1544-1569. The letters were originally kept in the Jesuit College Evora, Portugal and the information contained in these letters is of absorbing interest, containing the very earliest information regarding the places from which the letters were written. There are 3 collections of these letters, one collection is in the Academy of Sciences another at the Ajuda Library, Lisbon and the third (in 4 vols.) in the National Archives in Lisbon and National Library of Lisbon.
