Portugal's “Shadow Empire” in the Bay of Bengal
When it came to innovating ad hoc imperial structures in what the late John H. Parry called “The Age of Reconnaissance”, no European power could hold a candle to Portugal. It had one arrangement for the Atlantic islands, a modification of this pattern for Brazil; then it had another scheme for the West African coast and a different one for the Estado da Índia Oriental (which included the East African coast). Finally, its relations with Macau and …
Studies on Portuguese Asia, 1495-1689
Contents: Introduction India or Brazil? Priority for imperial survival during the wars of the RestauraA AGBPo Two Lusitanian variations on a Dutch theme: Portuguese companies in times of crisis, 1628-1662 Francisco Rodrigues de Silveira, the forgotten soldado prA!tico The origin and rhythm of Dutch aggression against the Estado da India, 1601-1661 Millenarianism and empire: Portuguese Asian decline and the 'crise de conscience' of the missionarie…
Earthquake, Fraud, and the Search for the Santa Rosa
Academic historians – or at least one sub-species of them - display growing interest in underwater archaeology, but nearly all of these profess little but disdain for treasure salvors who dive for precious metals and jewels hidden in submerged shipwrecks. Even so, the academics sometimes rub elbows with the undersea hunters and I myself became involved with them in 1982 and again in 1995–1996. I might add that they contacted me - not the other wa…
The Merchant-Warrior Pacified
The Dutch presence in India is all but a forgotten memory with little to remind us that the once mighty Veringde Oostindische Companie (VOC, the United Dutch East India Company), was a major presence in India for almost two centuries, and indeed, the most powerful European power in the region for over half that period. This volume is the first to examine the fluctuating fortunes of this once great company over its entire history from 1600 to 1795…
A Tale of Two Coromandel Towns
I first came upon Henry Davison Love's Vestiges of Old Madras a decade ago in The Hague. The four volumes were published at London in 1913 and have been very lately reprinted by the Oriental Books Reprint Corporation of Delhi. The dull cloth bindings of the Indian edition, however, hardly conjure the thrill I experienced the first time I watched the original volumes heave into view on the book conveyor of the Royal Library. Probably no one had ch…
