The purpose of this blog is first to provide an English Translation of the Araldi Manuscript, an important Italian account of Central Africa written in 1668 by Giovanni Antonio Cavazzi and then to expand on this work, solicit criticism of the translation and annotations and add other relevant source material

Note to Readers
In the archive section on the right is the complete English translation of Cavazzi's Missione Evangelica, vol. A. It has been posted in files, one per chapter. Cavazzi did not number his chapters consecutively, for reasons that I am not yet able to discover. However, pay attention to the pagination, given in square brackets, of the original manuscript if citing this text. In making citation, please note this edition and translation. I hope to post digital versions of my original typewritten transcript from the manuscript as soon as I have those available.
Thank you for making this fantastic resource available in such a broadly accessible format! You are to be commended for your efforts translating this manuscript. Thanks again.
