The book is divided into 16 livres with continuous page numbering. The book uses “Indes” in the general sense and does not mention Indes Orientales as such, however it does discuss Africa, Bresil, Japon and Inde. There are multiple references to places in Inde throughout the book including Goa, Coromin, Cocin, Guzarates, Coromandel, Malabares, Meliampor, Zamorin, St Thomas, Mangalor, Narsingan, Cananor, Colan, Tanor, Calecut, Brachmanes etc from 49p onwards.

The first 2 sections of the book concern China and Japan with no references to Inde. The section on le Grand Roy de Mogor commences on p. 193 and includes references to other roys such as those of Agra, Calicut, Echebar. The discussion includes elephants, the religious mores of the kingdom, as well as places such as Goa, Surratte, Fatepur, Gange, Lahor. The letters seem to have been written in 1595.

This book is numbered on alternate pages, hence it has 352 numbered pages but 704 pages of written text. It compares and contrasts les Indes Orientales and Occidentales and also describes the remarkable things that can be found in these places such as metals, plants, animals as well as the ceremonies, moeurs, laws, governments and wars of les Indiens. The book seems to concentrate more on Indes Occidentales and America. No places in Inde are mentioned, apart from Goa, 33p, once as a place to travel from Lisbon and Cap de Comorni, 22p. The term Indien is used somewhat loosely to describe people from both Indes.
