La Historiae Indicae (1588) de Giovanni Pietro Maffei ocupa un lugar central en la cultura histórica de la primera modernidad como primer gran relato global de la expansión portuguesa en Asia y Brasil. Sin embargo, su recepción moderna ha estado condicionada por la falta de una edición crítica, lo que la relegó frente a las Décadas da Ásia de João de Barros y a las crónicas misioneras posteriores, y convirtió la obra en mero depósito documental, más que en objeto de análisis historiográfico.
Esta edición ofrece por primera vez la traducción española manuscrita realizada entre 1588 y 1598, fijada críticamente y acompañada de un estudio que reconstruye sus fuentes, su proceso de escritura y su circulación europea. El volumen sitúa la obra en la intersección entre historiografía jesuítica, filología humanista e historia global, destacando su método basado en archivo, testimonio y clasicismo retórico.
Al restituir el lugar intelectual de Maffei, el libro muestra la Historiae Indicae como un texto clave para comprender la construcción europea de Asia, la circulación de saberes en la Compañía de Jesús y las tensiones entre verdad documental, obediencia institucional y propaganda imperial.
