In 1668, Dellon, a physician by training, sailed to India with the Compaignie de Indes travelling by the way of Madagascar and the Seychelles, and for a time undertook a study of the flora and fauna of the Malabar coast (Howgego). Dellon left the company in 1673 to set up his medical practice in the then Portuguese colony of Daman. Unfortunately, for him, he made enemies of the Inquisition, was arrested shortly thereafter, and imprisoned for two years at Goa. This work, published with permission of Louis XIV is an expose of the inquisition. First published in Leiden in 1687, it became an immediate bestseller.
