CHAPTER XI
ROMAN CHRISTIANITY IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY.
[Footnote 1: See for a fine example of this, Mr. C. Meriwether's Life of
Date Masamune, T.A.S.J., Vol. XXI., pp. 3-106. See also The Christianity
of Early Japan, by Koji Inaba, in The Japan Evangelist, Yokohama,
1893-94; Mr. E. Satow's papers in T.A.S.J.]
[Footnote 2: See M.E., p. 280; Rein's Japan, p. 312; Shigetaka Shiga's
History of Nations, p. 139, quoting from M.E. (p. 258).]
[Footnote 3: M.E., 195.]
[Footnote 4: The Japan Mail of April and May, 1894, contains a
translation from the Japanese, with but little new matter, however, of a
work entitled Paul Anjiro.]
[Footnote 5: The "Firando" of the old books. See Cock's Diary. It is
difficult at first to recognize the Japanese originals of some of the
names which figure in the writings of Charlevoix, Leon Pages, and the
European missionaries, owing to their use of local pronunciation, and
their spelling, which seems peculiar. One of the brilliant
identifications of Mr. Ernest Satow, now H.B.M. Minister at Tangier, is
that of Kuroda in the "Kondera"' of the Jesuits.
