Arabian Seas 1700 - 1763
"The Western Indian Ocean in the Eighteenth Century is the first of four volumes offering a sweeping panorama of the Arabian Seas during the early modern period. Focusing on the period 1700-1763, the first volume concentrates on daily life in littoral societies, examining long term issues including climatic change, famine, and the structures of fishing communities. The volume examines littoral societies in each of the major coastal areas of the W…
The Feudal Mutation
This article argues that much of the comparative literature on feudalism suffers from two problems: first, a mistaken identification of what constitutes European feudalism, in particular an emphasis on feudalism as a merger of Roman and Germanic elements as well as a mistaken stress on manorial production; second, a focus on ontological concepts, that is, concepts existing outside of history and not subject to change of significance in the course…
History, Law and Orientalism under Portuguese Colonialism in Eighteenth-Century India
The common narrative of the Portuguese state in India from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century is, following contemporaries like Manuel Godinho, that of the four ages of man. The development of the Estado da Índia runs from its birth during the discoveries, via its youth, the ‘golden age’ (ranging from roughly 1500 to 1520) through its maturity or, to stick with the age metaphors, its ‘silver age’ from c. 1520 to 1570 to senility, or ‘age of …
Reflections on the Arabian Seas in the Eighteenth Century
Although this paper builds on earlier research, let me frankly confess that this is still a preliminary report as it is not based on comprehensive research in the original sources upon which my work on the seventeenth centuryis based. Given the huge amount of sources available for the eighteenth century, to write a truly thorough paper on the Arabian seas in the eighteenth century would take many years – nay, a life-time so voluminous is it. Hold…
Trade and State in the Arabian Seas
While discussing some themes of my The Arabian Seas 1640-1700 and considering wider implications as well, this essay touches on a number of broad topics, so that if readers are not familiar with the facts they will at least be able to comment on the theoretic casting of this article. 2 There are disadvantages, though, to writing in this manner. Some readers will feel that I skim some topics too easily, often because I'm trying to voice broad ques…
Sources on Pre-1800 Asian History in Portugal and Spain
Let me start these notes with two caveats. First, apart from the many un-published sources on the Iberian involvement in Asia there is also a great number of published sources available. This is in itself a considerable repository of knowledge on Asia. Most of these source publications, though, have appeared in journals that are often riot available outside the Iberian peninsula. Though H. Scholberg, Bibliography of Goa and the Portuguese in Indi…

Shipbuilding in Seventeenth-Century Western India
The history of Indian shipbuilding is a relatively well-studied topic. There are two strands of literature on Indian shipping. First there is the Indian: R.N. Mukherjee (1923) is, in spite of some minor criticism which could be levelled at it, still the basic work on the topic. Among the more recent contributions should be mentioned those of L. Gopal and J. Qaisar. The second strand is Portuguese. Much of the Portuguese work on ‘Portuguese’ shipb…
