(or Busten)

A Jesuit missionary and author, born 1549, in the Diocese of Salisbury, England;
died at Goa, 1619. He entered the novitiate of the Society of Jesus on 11
October, 1576, and in the following year sailed for India, landing at Goa on 24
October, 1578. He settled in the island of Salsette, on the west coast of the
peninsula, and in 1584 he became superior of the Jesuits in that district,
retaining the office until his death thirty-five years later. Buston wrote
several works to further the instruction and conversion to Christianity of the
natives; his writings are the earliest known to have been printed in Hindustan.
Buston's published works are: "Arte da lingoa cararina", a grammar of the
language spoken in Canara, a district on the Malabar coast. It is written in
Portuguese, the language used by Europeans on that coast. Father Diogo de
Ribeiro had the work printed, with his own additions, at Goa, in 1640. "Doutrina
christã em lingua bramana" (1632); "Discurso sobre a vida de Jesus Christo"
(Rachol, 1649); "Purana", a collection of poems written in the Indian language,
illustrating the chief mysteries of Christianity. Buston, at the time of his
death, was held in general repute as an apostle and a saint.
