- Résumé : "A Voyage to Abyssinia" by Father Jerome Lobo, translated by Samuel Johnson, is a detailed account of Lobo's missionary journey to Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia) in the early 17th century. The narrative begins with Lobo's departure from Lisbon and his arrival in Goa, where he is selected for the mission to Abyssinia. The journey is fraught with challenges, including shipwrecks, hostile encounters, and treacherous landscapes. Lobo and his companions face numerous obstacles, such as navigating through the Red Sea and dealing with the inhospitable terrain and climate of the regions they traverse. The text provides vivid descriptions of the cultures and peoples encountered, including the Galles and the inhabitants of the Red Sea coast. Lobo's account is notable for its lack of embellishment, focusing instead on the realistic portrayal of his experiences and the difficulties faced by the missionaries. The narrative also touches on the political and religious dynamics of the time, particularly the efforts to convert the Abyssinians to Catholicism. Despite the hardships, Lobo's journey is marked by moments of cultural exchange and mutual respect, as well as the enduring hope of fulfilling his missionary objectives. The text is both a travelogue and a historical document, offering insights into the challenges of missionary work and the complexities of cross-cultural interactions in the 17th century.
