The Jesuit Mission in Ethiopia (16th–17th Centuries): an Analytical Bibliography

However, despite the number of studies dedicated to it a bibliography was still missing. This paper tries to fill the gap; it discusses the historiography of the mission, outlines the main themes treated and provides a comprehensive list of secondary literature.
