The Garden of Shepherds of Miguel de Almeida represents the best systematization of the pastoral discourse within the Jesuit literature developed in South Asian languages.  The book, written in Konkani through Roman script, was published at the College of Saint Paul in 1658–59. The work is structured in sermons following the celebrations of the Catholic calendar, one for each Sunday of the year.
      Miguel de Almeida was born in the Portuguese village of Gueva (province of Beira) in 1607. In 1624, he entered the Jesuit novitiate in Goa. He learned Konkani at the College of Saint Paul where he became rector, and finally provincial of the Society of Jesus, 1659–62. Apart from the Garden of Shepherds, Miguel de Almeida possibly co-authored a grammar of Konkani language together with António de Saldanha. The Jesuit Ignazio Archamone (1615–83) informs us of the elegant and clear style of Almeida’s works in the local language of Goa. He died in Raichur in 1683.

Dear 
Themistocles

Thank you for sharing this gem of joy!

I’m currently reading MY BROTHERS IN ST.DOMINIC GUZMAN 1503-1962 by Fr Agnello Barbosa op and for anyone interested in church history it’s an enriching experience indeed. Do try and find a copy! 

Best wishes 

Heta Pandit

There is a real need to write more history of Portuguese in India. It's such a shame that more scholars are not working on it. So much archives and not enough eyes.

Peof. Pius Malekandathil, of Jawaharlal Nehru University, has  written a lot
from original sources. I am sure you have read his works.
He has done a great job!

It depends on what aspect of that history we are interested in. If it is religious history I recommend two books, both in Portuguese:
História Religiosa de Goa by A B de Bragança Pereira and
História das Missões do Padroado Português do Oriente by Antonio da Silva Rego.

Very good story indeed & beautiful photos. A pity he doesn't
acknowledge my contribution to it, such as reading the date in the
inscription and so on.
Yours, R.M.

Dear Prof. Moreira,

I did acknowledge your contribution in my book.
The date on the stone was intact and legible.
Your help in deciphering the missing  Latin words was much appreciated and duly attributed in the book.

Best wishes.

Thanks.

I cut and posted the text.
Either  the author misspelled or the name was changed later.
