a new edition of a rare and sought-after book. history of new zealand and its inhabitants is the english translation of italian monk dom felice vaggioli’s radical, prescient appraisal of british colonisation in aotearoa. vaggioli was one of the first benedictine priests to be sent to aotearoa nz, and while working in auckland, the coromandel and gisborne during the years 1879–1887, he observed lifestyles and customs and gathered information about the country’s history, including first-hand accounts of the signing of te tiriti and the conflicts in taranaki and waikato. the italian version of his book about aotearoa was destroyed in europe due to its anti-protestant and anti-british views but was later discovered and translated into english in aotearoa by john crockett in 2000. this 2023 edition brings vaggioli’s unique document into the public eye once more.
