Fr. Fernão Guerreiro (1550-1617) was the Superior of the Jesuit congregation in Lisbon and a historian. He was responsible for one of the most important collections of these letters from overseas missionaries of the Order. His work, Relação Anual das Coisas que Fizeramos Padres da Campanhia de Jesus nas Partes da India [...] (Yearly Report of the Deeds Realized by the Fathers of the Society of Jesus in India [...]) was published in 1603-1611. His works served as a major reference point to the yearly Carta Annuas (Annual Letters) sent by his overseas colleagues, which presents a vivid description of where the Society of Jesus developed its missions in South, South-East, and East Asia. C.H. Payne was a translator and a former educational adviser to the erstwhile Nawab of Bhopal. He authored books such as, A Short History of the Sikhs; Gohur-i-Ikbal (transl. into English as An account of My Life); Scenes & Characters from Indian History as Described in the Works of Some Old Masters; Tod's Annals of Rajasthan: The Annals of Mewar, etc.
