Volume 1 covers the history of Portugal up to 1495. The chapters are a linear history and are named after the king on the throne at that time. There are a number of mentions of Indes in the book, although some refer to Indes Occidentales and Colomb. However Goa and Calicut are mentioned in 1486 as ports visited by Covillan.
Volume 2 covers Portuguese history from 1495-1521. The volume has extensive references to Goa and Cochin (over 50 pages each) from 1499 onwards, as well as Calicut, Zamorin, Inde and Indes. The book gives a linear history of Portuguese involvement in Inde and hence references to Inde and places in Inde can be found in most chapters of the book.

Dodds (1980), beaucoup circulé en France au XVIIIème s.
