There are a number of print editions of this book, from 1570 to 1625, listed in the British Library main catalogue. The URL is for
Les Provesses Et Vaillances du Redoute Mabrian, lequel fut Roy de Jerusalem, & de l’Inde, la Maiour, Troyes: Oudot, 1625, 226 pp.
There is no page numbering in the text. Inde is mentioned throughout the text, however no recognisable places are mentioned. It seems to be a work of fiction.

The book is in 2 parts. Part 1, 1 to 175pp, are letters from Luiz Froes about Japan and does not mention India. Part 2, 114pp, has a separate frontpiece (187p on Google) and page numbering and are the letters from Nicolas Pimante to Claude Aquinaviva from Goa, dated 21 December 1599. The letters are about the church in Inde and Pegu and mention Goa, Cochin, Zamorin, Bengal, Negapatan, Ganges, Siripur, Malabar, Coromandel and multiple other places.

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. There is an extensive index from 945p.

This book is an annual letter from Nicolas Pimenta, visiteur de la province de l’Inde Orientale, dated décembre 1600. The author left Goa in December 1599 for Lahor and Cambaia to meet le Roy de Mogor. He returned on 1 December 1600. There are many references to Zamorin, Cochin, Bengala, Negapatan and Goa, as well as many other missions in Inde.

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.

Inde and places in Inde are mentioned in this book about plants, which has illustrations. There is one section devoted to “Figuier d’Inde”, 123p, and the section on “Des arbres appellez tristes”, 259-268p, notes that these trees are found in Goa and Malabar and includes other discussion.

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.

This book is the second part of a compilation of the Histoire Universelle des Indes Occidentales translated by Wytfliet and Histoire Universelle des Indes Orientales. The 2 livres in the Indes Orientales section have continuous page numbering (76 pp.).
Livre 1 (pp. 1-44): the early chapters review the voyage of Vasque de Gama to Indes via Mozambique, finding un pilote Indien for the voyage to Calicut (p. 16) and meeting the Roy de Calicut. After the return of de Gama to Portugal there is the description of other voyages to Calicut and then to Cochin (p. 30). In 1505 there is a meeting with the Roy de Narsinge (p. 32), and then descriptions of various battles. Goa starts being mentioned from p. 36. Although there are some chapters on Malaca, Livre 1 concentrates on Inde.
Livre 2 (pp. 45-72) has sections on other countries in Indes Orientales such as Japan, China, Borneo etc., as well as Bengals (p. 62), Malabar (p. 65), Cranganor (p. 67), Narsinde & Decan (p. 68) and Cambaia (p. 70).
After Livre 2 there is another book with a separate frontispiece called La suite de l’histoire des Indes Orientales, de la conversion des Indiens. Douay: Fabri, 1607, 80 pp.
This book includes a chapter on Goa (p. 9), Cocin (p. 15), Damana, Coulan, Cap de Comorin plus other towns, including Macao. Later in this book there is a description of the conversion to the Indes Occidentales and the final pages are a list of chapters and the contents for the Indes Orientales books.

This seems to be a later version/copy of Nouueaux aduertissemens tres certains venus du paÿs des Indes Meridionales: Contenans la conversion de trois grans Roys infidelles, de la secte Mahommet, convertis et baptisez, avec tous leurs subjects: et suiuans à present nostre saincte Foy Chrestienne. Pour Jean Dallier libraire, Paris 1571.
The book is a chronicle of a voyage to a number of places: Manado, Isle de Saguine, Cauripe, Goa, Cocin, Margone, Porcada. Three Roys were baptised. The final sentence: Ecrit aux Indes en l’Isle de Madere le 17 jour d’Aout 1570.

This book is divided into 3 livres, each with separate chapter numbering. Livre 1 (pp. 1-360); Livre 2 (pp. 361-572); Livre 3 (pp. 573-748). From p. 749 there is a separate part with separate page numbering on La messe des anciens chrestiens which has both French and Latin text.
There are multiple references to Inde and places in Inde in this book. As the book is about the Roman Catholic Church in Inde, Goa and the Archevesques de Goa are mentioned throughout and includes their visits to multiple other places in Inde where there were churches – Cochin, Cassanor, Malipur, Calicut, Travancor, Cranganor, Malabar etc.

The 3 volumes of this book are referenced in the British Library online catalogue, but not in Goldsmith under Jarric. There, they are listed under Du Jarric, Pierre (p. 148).
Volume 1 includes Livres 1 and 2 and discusses the history of the discovery of Les Indes by the Portuguese and first mentions of Inde and places in Inde starts from p. 18 onwards. Thereafter Inde is featured extensively in the book, particularly Goa and Cochin.
Volume 2 includes Livres 3 and 4. Livre 3 discusses Africa, including the Congo, Angola, Ethiopie and Brasil. Livre 4 includes the Royaume d’Ormuz, l’Empire du Grand Mogor (pp. 426-498) and Royaume de Chine.
Volume 3, published in 1614 by the same printer, includes Livres 5 and 6 and covers the history of Les Indes from 1600 to 1610. Again Inde and places in Inde, such as Goa, Cochin and Agra, are mentioned throughout the book. There are chapters on other parts of Indes such as Chine interspersed with the chapters on Inde.

A native of Laval in the prosperous Maine region (now Mayenne), François Pyrard set sail on The Corbin in 1601. The aim of the French flotilla, which included a second vessel called the Croissant, with François Martin on board, was to explore the maritime route to the East Indies. The Corbin, however, was wrecked near the Maldives. Pyrard spent five years on those islands before being captured by the Portuguese. After spending two years in Goa, he was forced to enlist and carry out an expedition which took him to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), to Bengal, to the Malay Archepelago and to the Moluccas (now Maluku Islands), before returning to Portugal. In his narrative, Pyrard most notably paints an anthropological portrait of Indian society, with its Hindu customs, the establishment of Mughal rule and the growing presence of Europeans in these regions. As a consequence, he provides important information on the political, religious and trading lives of the Portuguese, as well as those of the indigenous peoples. Pyrard’s work reproduces the typical literary characteristics of the travel narrative of the period with its tripartite structure of departure (including a storm and a shipwreck), period of residence and return. It presents itself as a series of anecdotes that describe both the people and the landscapes discovered, as well as the traveller’s impressions.

Originaire de Laval, François Pyrard embarque sur le Corbin en 1601. L’escadre française, comprenant un deuxième vaisseau le Croissant avec François Martin à bord, a pour objectif de se familiariser avec la route maritime des Indes orientales. Cependant, le Corbin fait naufrage près des Maldives. Pyrard y séjourne durant cinq années avant de se faire capturer par les Portugais. Après avoir passé deux ans à Goa, il est contraint de s’enrôler comme soldat pour mener à bien une expédition qui le mènera à Ceylan, au Bengale, en Insulinde et aux Moluques avant de prendre le chemin du retour vers le Portugal. Au cours de son récit, Pyrard dépeint notamment un portrait anthropologique de la civilisation indienne avec ses coutumes hindoues, la mise en place de l’islamisation et la présence grandissante des européens sur le territoire. Il donne donc d’importantes informations sur la situation politique, religieuse et commerciale des Portugais mais aussi des autochtones. Répondant aux caractéristiques littéraires du récit de voyage, avec entre autre la structure ternaire : départ (avec tempête et naufrage), séjour et retour, l’œuvre de Pyrard se présente comme une succession d’anecdotes décrivant à la fois le peuple et le milieu découverts mais aussi ses impressions de voyageur.

This short text is the story told by the Bishop of Cochin about a man from the port de Vengalarauge who was aged 380 years. There is some discussion about longevity around the la Ganga and a place called Regora. The full title of the text is a resumé of the story.

This book about the origins of languages is written in French and Latin. There are 2 main sections referring to Inde, the first being “Des Chrestiens Indiens Orientaux” (614-625p) and then “De la Region de l’Inde Orientale” (876-900) which includes a table of the Indian alphabet, 885p. In both sections, as well as discussion of the different languages, there are also mentions of the geography of the area with the mention of towns etc such as Calecut, Malabar, Canaonor, Goa, Narsinga, Cochin, Coromandel, Decan. There are other references to place in Inde in the text.

The majority of this book centres on Chine. However, there are a number of chapters towards the end which describe other royaumes in the Indes Orientales. Chapter XXIII (p. 373) is about Gange; Chapter XXIII (p. 376), Royaume de Coromandel including Calamine and Bisnague; Chapter XXV (p. 380), Goa, Cochin, Coulan; Chapter XXVI (p. 384), Cananor, Calicut, Mangalor and then Ormus and the Red Sea (p. 386).

The text was reviewed as a hard copy at the BL, but a digital copy is now available online. This text is part of a collection of letters and writings about the Catholic Church. The book has no continuous page numbering. This reference refers to a section approximately 2/3 through the book (numbered in pencil as 19) and the relevant section about India is on pp. 17-40. This section is a collection of letters translated from Portuguese into French and sent from Goa in 1608/9 about the church in that part of India.

This seems to be an imaginary country. Indes is used as in “La mer des Indes”. There is one section on religion which mentions Indes Orientales and Sainct Thomas having “sa sepultre à Malipur, sur le bord du goulphe de Bengela” and Braquemans, 198p.

There are multiple printings of this book. The reference quoted is the 1617 edition.
The initial chapters are ordered by states. Hence, the first chapter is about France and the second on the Monarchy of Spain (p. 132), which includes Indes. From p. 212 there are sections on the Coste de Malabar, Cochin and Goa (pp. 217-243). Later in the book there are sections on le Grand Mogor (p. 907), le Roy de Calicut (p. 915) and le Roy de Narsinge (p. 923). Inde is mentioned multiple times in the section on des Roys de Perse (p. 957).

This book is divided into 4 separate parts with each part having separate page numbering. The 1st part is divided into 2 livres:
Livre I, 1-304p, is “Histoire des drogues, espiceries et medicaments simples”. There are a number of drogues etc that mention places in India, such as; Santal, 109p, Goa, Couchin, Decan, Guzarate; Casse Laxative, 190p, Goa, Malavar, Canara, Deca; Amome, 197p, Goa; Calamus, 205p, Goa, Guzarare, Balagate; Zerumbet, 266p, Guzarate, Decan, Canara, Calecut, Malavar.
Livre II, 305-384p, is “Histoire de quelques plantes de Indes”.
This section includes the index for Livres I and II. Inde and places in Inde and their relevant plants are mentioned multiple times.
2nd part, 1-109p, “Histoire du Balme, Livre Quatriesme”, does not seem to mention Inde.
3rd part, 1-268p, “Histoire de simples medicaments apportés de l’Amerique.” does not mention Inde.
4th part, 1-181p, “Traicté de Christophle de la Coste…des drogues & medicamens qui naissent aux Indes”. This section is about Indes Orientales, and mentions Malabar, Goa, Cochin, Cranganor, Canarin, Decan, Guzarate, Brachmames etc and the drugs, medicinal plants and animals associated with these places.

These 4 volumes refer extensivley to Inde and Indes and the drugs and spices found there. There are many references to Malabar and Goa.

The 1620 tome is the combined volumes 1 and 2 of the 1606 edition called Histoires admirable et memorables etc. and has continous page numbering. It is listed in Goldsmith alongside the 1614 tome which includes volumes 3 and 4, completing the 4 volume set.
Although there are numerous references to Indes in the book a number of these are for Occidentales or unspecified. There are numerous references to Goa (pp. 569-572 and p. 736), as well as Goa and Cochim (pp. 901-915). No other places in Inde are mentioned.
There are only a few references to Indes in volumes 3 and 4, mainly referring to Indes Occidentales and to the term “les deux Indes”. There is one reference to a ship leaving Lisbonne in 1579 for Indes Orientales (p. 74). No places in Inde are mentioned.

Inde per se is not mentioned in this book, however there are references to places in Inde such as; Roy de Malabar, 867p; Province de Malabar, 1374p; religious references to Goa, Cananor and Cochin, 1360-1p; Coromandel, Guzarate and Malabar, 9p; Ganges, 618p, 358p.

Nonnus or Nonos of Panopolis was a Greek poet from the birthplace of Pan in Egypt who probably lived from the end of the 4th to the middle of the 5th century CE. He composed the the forty-eight books of the Dionysiaca between 450 and 470. This text was translated several times, notably by Claude Boitet de Frauville in 1625 and by Count Marcellus who declared in his 1856 preface that it ‘should be considered as a great mythological storehouse’. Indeed, this epic presents the glorious exploits of Bacchus who, following his father Jupiter’s bidding, vanquishes  so-called Indian barbarians in the guise of an conquering and civilizing ruler. If places such as the Eritrean Sea, the Nile, the Jhelum river or Ethiopia are mentioned and if India is not represented in its plurality of cultures, it is nonetheless a part of the theatre in which the battles take place and the scene in which the full power of the Greek gods is deployed. It can be seen that the author has recourse to the imaginary, that the country transports him and that he uses it as an instrument of fiction. In the context of the increasing dominance of Christianity, this work can be considered as a transposition of Greek reality in epic form towards the South and the East. Moreover the fact that Bacchus is mentioned as the ‘conqueror of India’ in Furetière’s 1727 dictionary entry on India demonstrates that this myth affected empirical discourse.
[MBL/IM]

Nonnus de Panopolis ou Nonos de Panopolis est un poète grec né à Panopolis, la ville de Pan, en Egypte et qui aurait vécu entre la fin du IVͤ siècle et le milieu du Vͤ siècle. Il a composé Les Dionysiaques entre 450 et 470 comme un poème de quarante-huit chants. Ce texte a connu plusieurs traductions, notamment par Claude Boitet de Frauville en 1625 et par le comte de Marcellus qui déclare dans sa préface en 1856 : « Les  Dionysiaques doivent être considérées comme un grand magasin mythologique […] ». En effet, cette épopée présente la gloire de Bacchus qui, en dieu civilisateur et conquérant, terrasse surtout la «barbarie» indienne sur l’instance de son père Jupiter. Si les lieux comme la mer d’Erythrée, le Nil, la rivière de Jhelum  ou l’Ethiopie sont mentionnés et si l’Inde n’est pas envisagée dans son interculturalité, elle fait néanmoins partie de l’espace où se déroulent les affrontements et où se met en place la pleine puissance des dieux Grecs. On voit donc que l’auteur se sert de l’imaginaire, que le pays transporte et qu’il s’en sert comme d’un instrument de fiction. Cette œuvre peut être envisagée comme la transposition épique vers le sud et l’est d’une réalité grecque, soumise à l’emprise grandissante du christianisme. En outre, le fait que Furetière mentionne Bacchus comme ‘vainqueur de l’Inde’ dans son dictionnaire de 1727 montre que ce mythe a des effets dans le reel.
