Resumo:In the context of European expansion during the 16th century, the evangelization of peoples labeled as pagans occupied a central role. The missionaries did not take long to realize that the evangelization of these populations could only advance if carried out in a negotiated manner.

Using the example of the Jesuit experience in Japan, I will discuss the way the missionary reports about the "religion" of pagan populations, as the authors called it, propelled an unprecedented intellectual curiosity in Europe.
