Book Description
Excerpt from The Log-Book of William Adams, 1614-19: With the Journal of Edward Saris, and Other Documents Relating to Japan, Cochin China, Etc Adams's log-book (now Savile ms. 48 in the Bodleian Library) consists of seventy-nine leaves, measuring 1454 X 1071; inches. It is in three sections, of which the first, containing the record of the voyage to the Riu Kiu Islands, is on smooth Japanese paper, the writing being neat with fine strokes. The paper of the second section is also Japanese but rather porous, and the writing in consequence is larger and not so neat. The paper of the third section resembles that of the first, but the writing continues as in the second section. Rough calculations of expenses and loans as well as nautical observations, scattered about the ms., show that it is Adams's original diary and not a copy. His name does not occur in the log, but the writing is similar to that of his letters. Two small outline drawings, one of a burning island near, the Riu Kiu Islands and the other of the southern portion of the Goto Islands, illustrate the text. The ms. Seems to have been unbound till about 1900, when it was put into Cloth boards. How it came into the possession of Sir Henry Savile, whose collection was bequeathed to the University of Oxford, is' unknown. The other documents printed as appendixes are for the most part preserved in the India Office Library. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
In 1614 the shogunate prohibited Christianity amidst rumors of foreign plots to conquer Japan. But more than the fear of armed invasions, it was the ideological threat--or spiritual conquest--that the Edo shogunate feared the most. This book explores the encounter of Christianity and premodern Japan in the wider context of global and intellectual history. M. Antoni J. Ucerler examines how the Jesuit missionaries sought new ways to communicate their faith in an unfamiliar linguistic, cultural, and religious environment--and how they sought to re-invent Christianity in the context of samurai Japan. They developed an original moral casuistry or cases of conscience adapted to the specific dilemmas faced by Japanese Christians. This volume situates the European missionary enterprise in East Asia within multiple geopolitical contexts: Both Ming China and Warring States Japan resisted the presence of foreigners and their beliefs. In Japan, where the Jesuits were facing persecution in the midst of civil war, they debated whether they could intervene in military conflicts to protect local communities. Others advocated for the establishment of a Christian republic or civil protectorate. Based on little-known primary sources in various languages, The Samurai and the Cross explores the moral and political debates over religion, law, and reason of state that took place on both the European and the Japanese side.
