Very rare first edition of Gualtieri's account of the first Japanese embassy to Europe, the embassy of the four "princes" who went to Europe as representatives of their (Christian) daimyo families of Kyushu. The four youthful lords (they were between fourteen and fifteen years of age when they departed), Mancio Ito, Michel Chijawa Seiyemon, Julien Nakaura, and Martin Hara left Nagasaki along with Valignano, who had organized the mission, in 1582 first for Macao, then via Malacca and Goa to Lisbon where they arrived in 1584 and spent the next twenty months on a triumphant tour of Portugal, Spain, and Italy. They left Europe again from Lisbon in April 1586 to reach Nagasaki, after prolonged stays in Goa and Macao, in 1590. "During the twenty months of their triumphal tour, they visited around seventy different towns in three countries. They were received as official legates of their daimyos by the Regent of Portugal, the King of Spain, two popes, and the doges of Venice and Gen oa. In every town, large and small, they excited the interest of the leading ecclesiastical and lay figures, and were treated as conquering heros. Finally, the record of their visit was preserved for posterity in c orr espondence, books, paintings, maps and inscriptions. Their persons, gifts, and samples of writing all helped to make Japan more real for Europe ans. For the Jesuits, one great result of the visit was the papal bull recognizing their exclusive right to carry on missionary work in Japan" (Lach I, 705f.). - Some foxing, slight browning, minor marginal worming to few leaves, small marginal dampmarking to first and last leaves, restoration to inner margin of first and last leaf. Marginal brownstain to p. 1 69/170, small marginal restoration to pp. 129/130 with minor loss of a few letters. Recent limp vellum.
