Regarding the comment below, if there was movable Devanagri type available, surely the book would be printed in that language. BC Father Thomas Stephens was the first British Jesuit to set foot in Goa. He learned the Marathi language and composed 'Kristpuran' epic in Marathi and it was published in 1606. ?Kristpuran? is the first book in the Marathi language to be printed in the Roman script in Goa in the early seventeenth century. When the Portuguese brought printing presses to Goa, it was not possible to print the book in Devanagari script, so it was printed in Roman script.
