| Summary | "Compendio da relaçam, que veyo da India o anno de 1691" by Vicente Barbosa is a historical account written during the late 17th century. This book recounts the experiences of missionary work in the East, focusing particularly on the efforts to evangelize the indigenous populations in Borneo and surrounding regions. The narrative highlights the challenges and successes faced by the missionaries, illustrating both the spiritual and cultural confrontations that occurred during this period of exploration and colonization. Within the text, the story unfolds through the perspective of Father Dom Antonino Vintimilha, who embarks on a mission to convert the people of Borneo to Christianity. The book details his journey from Lisbon to Borneo, including his encounters with the local population, the introduction of Catholicism, and the establishment of missionary activities amidst local customs and beliefs. Throughout the narrative, themes of faith, perseverance, and the quest for spiritual salvation are prevalent, as Father Vintimilha navigates the complexities of cultural exchange and the challenges posed by political tensions in the region, including conflicts with local rulers. The text serves not only as a reflection of religious zeal but also as a historical document that provides insight into the missionary efforts of the time.
