The original Portuguese text had not yet been published, (it was not until 1836). InocÃªncio does not record this edition, nor do the main auction catalogues, which only refer to the 1st Paris edition, with the exception of Avila Perez (which records only seven engravings) and Reiss \u0026amp; Auvermann.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe translator received the support of the family of the Counts of Ericeira, namely of the 4th Count of Ericeira, Lord Francisco Xavier de Meneses and especially of the 3rd Countess of Ericeira, Lady Joana Josefa de Meneses to whom the translation is dedicated. In the dedication, Father le Grand praises the Countess's erudition and perfect command of French and several other languages. This testimony confirms the reputation of a great writer that Lady Joanna had.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is of great interest for the study of Portugal's rule on the island discovered by LourenÃ§o de Almeida in 1506, but what led French scholars to translate the work and publish it in Paris and Amsterdam in the same year is its great value for the study of the Sinhalese people from the point of view of history, linguistics, anthropology, ethnology and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe present translation which preceded the Portuguese editions is also a very important subsidy for the realisation of the much needed critical edition of this valuable work, which until now has only known diffusion editions based on loose manuscripts, whose variants have not been studied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this work Captain JoÃ£o Ribeiro, who was an eyewitness and participant in these facts, narrates the last years of Portuguese ruling of Ceylon, from 1640 to 1658, the constant fighting with the Dutch invaders and with the Raja Sinha II of the Kingdom of Candia, namely the epic siege of Colombo, where the Portuguese resisted the Dutch attack, from October 1655 until May 1656 and the last resistance until the fall of the fortress of Jaffna, the last which remained in the possession of Portugal until 1658.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the last part of the work, JoÃ£o Ribeiro criticizes Portugal's colonial policy for being excessively ambitious and for setting objectives far beyond the country's human and economic capacities. The author argues that the Portuguese domains should be limited to the cities conquered by Afonso de Albuquerque and the Island of Ceylon which - according to Ribeiro - \"is the best piece of land that the Creator put in this world\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEDITIONS: the following Portuguese editions and French and English translations have been published to the present day: In 1701 a French language translation, under the title: Histoire de l' Isle de Ceylan, Ã©crite par le Capitain Jean Ribeyro, \u0026amp; presentÃ©e au Roy du Portugal en 1685.
