In this little book the author has put together such information, hitherto unpublished, as he was able to collect during a recent visit to Portugal, regarding Vijaya Pala, brother of Raja Sinha, king of Ceylon. A couple of documents from the archives at Lisbon, the translations of which were courteously placed at his disposal by the authorities at the India office, as well as the rare pamphlet dealing with the Prince’s baptism are also included. This is a small book that charts the progress of the Portuguese in the Island of Ceylon. This work consists of 24 documents that were exchanged between Prince Vijayapala, (the brother of Raja Sinha King of Ceylon) and the Portuguese viceroy Don Philipe Mascarenhas, and the King of Portugal – Dom Joao IV. The time period of these document range between 10-10-1634 and 21-12-1651. This book is a reprint of the 1927 edition.
