Summary Description: Richly illustrated author's copy of a history of Ceylon, covering the years 1622-1693, dedicated to Pedro II of Portugal. The first half of the volume contains details relating to the Sinhalese people, with notes on their language, women, and relations with the Portuguese and Dutch; it also considers the island itself, and its Portuguese towns and cities. The second half relates the wars between the Dutch and Portuguese for control of the island, including the great siege of Colombo (October 1655 - May 1656). Ribeiro also criticises Portuguese colonial administration and imperial overreach. A copy of an article by C R Boxer on the author, his life, and his work is included at the end of the volume.
