Footnotes
The Italian Jesuit missionary Valignano reports on the deaths of five of his colleagues in Goa, including the nephew of the Society's Superior General, Rodolfo Acquaviva. The group was attacked by Hindus on 15 July 1583 in the village of Cuncolim, with a Portuguese layman and fourteen native Christians also killed. The account was published in Italian and Latin in the same year; no copies traced at auction.
