Professor Rogers demonstrates that there was another significant reason why Europeans traveled to the East during the lade medieval and Renaissance period. This was the dream of a Christian Indies, which in turn led to a quest for the Christians of the Farther East. The author specifically seeks to establish a direct relation between the knowledge of Indian and Ethiopian Christians which was available in Jerusalem from early Christian times onward and which returning pilgrims disseminated in the West, and the presence of the Portuguese in South India and the Ethiopian highlands in the early sixteenth century.Eastern churchesRelationsCatholic ChurchChristian unionHistoryChurch history15th centuryEastern churchesRelationsCatholic Church.Christian unionHistory.Church historyRogers Francis Millet1489116MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781919203321The quest for Eastern Christians3752265UNINA
