Existem 2 exemplares em Portugal: um na BNP («exemplar truncado sem capa, nem lombada» e na UCP não descrito). Obra publicada para ser usada pelos missionários enviados ao Norte da índia, à Corte do Mogol. Muito importante e fundamental para o estudo do contacto linguístico com a gramática e o vocabulário da língua indiana, também conhecida como hindustana, ou hindostana, que compreende historicamente a actual região da Índia, Paquistão, Bangladesh, Nepal e Butão. A obra encontra-se redigida em língua portuguesa, a qual era a língua franca e a única língua ocidental reconhecida nesta época no Oriente para as missões e para o comércio, de tal forma que esta obra impressa em Roma não contém qualquer comentário sobre esta forma de abordagem da língua indiana. Inclui, desde página 55 à 136, listas bilingues português-hindustano de numerais, verbos e substantivos e adjectivos e dos nomes dos reis, com as palavras hindustanas transliteradas para caracteres do alfabeto ocidental. Inocêncio III, 161: «Tenho um exemplar da edição de 1778, que no Catalogo de livros de D.Vicente Salvà vem cotado na quantia mais que exorbitante de 2 libras! ».
