Indeed Joseph's narratives had curiosity value at that time, but much of it is tainted by the people who transcribed what they thought he said. or they wrote what they felt like, in Latin of whichever language the first interview was recorded..Maddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163804773843409980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258499896042719014.post-502555502304380352009-10-28T20:54:27.102-04:002009-10-28T20:54:27.102-04:00let me check around. i will get back on this..let me check around. i will get back on this..Maddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163804773843409980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258499896042719014.post-43499234592783172802009-10-28T10:29:45.106-04:002009-10-28T10:29:45.106-04:00may you have same document about the church of nes...may you have same document about the church of nestorian at the fansur or barus sumatra.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258499896042719014.post-77775864583199632932009-07-17T13:13:16.990-04:002009-07-17T13:13:16.990-04:00From this account may be some inferences could be ...From this account may be some inferences could be drawn but cannot be fully relied upon. For instance the distance of Kodungalloor from the sea is stated to be 15 miles! The length of the town (30 miles) by that account might have included land south of Cochin as well. Amongst the Hindus who lived there, Brahmins have been excluded. There were temples exclusively for women!<br />We learn that P.N.
