Now seventy-five, Fr Mascarenhas has made a herculean task look very easy. He has been successfully writing for the last 15 years, which is praiseworthy given that he has not kept well recently. His penchant for reading and love for history has inspired within him the determination to complete a gigantic work such as this. Each of his books is a veritable storehouse of information, and of much importance to anyone interested in the secular and church history of Goa.
