Translated from the Evora MS. and edited, with a translation of the Act of Possession of Pedro Teixeira, 1639, and of contemporary references in Portuguese sources to the work of Father Fritz in the Upper Amazon. This is a new print-on-demand hardback edition of the volume first published in 1922. Owing to technical constraints it has not been possible to reproduce Fritz's Map of 1707 which was included in the first edition of the work.
George Edmundson was an Anglican clerical scholar. Edmundson graduated from Magdalen College, Oxford in 1870, was ordained in 1872; and served as vicar of Northolt, Middlesex.
His work, The Church of Rome in the First Century: the Bampton Lectures for 1913 was published in 1913. The late J. A. T. Robinson praised the book and remarked in his Redating the New Testament (1977) that the book was largely ignored when it was published, perhaps because the author was not a professional New Testament scholar and his conclusions differed from almost all the "assured results" of the "higher criticism" of the day.
