Entre 1579 e 1584, estabeleceu-se em Lisboa, consultando os arquivos da coroa lusitana e estudando a histÃ³ria das missÃµes ocidentais na Ãndia e a histÃ³ria colonial portuguesa em geral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA obra foi publicada em fÃ³lio em Lyon, em 1587 sob o tÃ­tulo \u003cem\u003eHistoriarum, Indicarum Libri XVI\u003c\/em\u003e e constitui a obra-prima do autor.

No livro XI, Maffei narra a expediÃ§Ã£o de EstÃªvÃ£o da Gama ao Suez, bem como a trÃ¡gica morte de seu irmÃ£o, CristÃ³vÃ£o da Gama, em combate na EtiÃ³pia. No livro XII, o autor aborda o convite de Dom JoÃ£o III Ã  Companhia de Jesus para missionar na Ãndia, culminando com a chegada de Dom Francisco Xavier a Lisboa. Este mesmo livro tambÃ©m marca o inÃ­cio do vice-reinado de Dom JoÃ£o de Castro. O livro XIII descreve o final do vice-reinado de Dom JoÃ£o de Castro, destacando a grande vitÃ³ria em Diu e a sua morte, assistida por Dom Francisco Xavier. No livro XIV, Maffei foca nas obras missionÃ¡rias no JapÃ£o. A partir da pÃ¡gina 357 do livro XV, o autor detalha a colonizaÃ§Ã£o do Brasil e o envio de missionÃ¡rios jesuÃ­tas, com destaque para Manuel da NÃ³brega, que desempenhou um papel crucial na evangelizaÃ§Ã£o e organizaÃ§Ã£o das novas terras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA segunda parte, a \u003cem\u003eSelectarvm Epistolarvm Ex India Liber IIII\u003c\/em\u003e, entre as pÃ¡ginas 402 e 556, reÃºne uma antologia de cartas remetidas pelos missionÃ¡rios jesuÃ­tas no Estado da Ãndia.

Reprinted several times, the History of the East Indies was translated into French by FranÃ§ois Arnault de Borie and into Italian by Francesco Serdonati.

In Book XII, the author discusses Dom JoÃ£o III's invitation to the Society of Jesus to missionise in India, culminating in the arrival of Dom Francisco Xavier in Lisbon. This same book also marks the beginning of the viceroyalty of Dom JoÃ£o de Castro.
