Ceylon the Portuguese Era (Vol 2) is the second volume of P. E. Pieris' history of Sri Lanka during the Portuguese period, covering the years 1505 to 1658.
Pieris, a Ceylonese historian and civil servant, set out the two-volume work as a detailed account of the Portuguese arrival on the island, their administration of the coastal territories and the wars that brought their rule to an end. It remains one of the standard English-language histories of Portuguese Ceylon.
This edition is published by Vijitha Yapa, the Sri Lankan publisher, and completes the set with the first volume, Ceylon the Portuguese Era (Vol 1).
