The Origin and Rhythm of Dutch Aggression against the Estado da India, 1601-1661
it is a commonplace that the VOC, or Dutch East India Company, reduced the Estado da India Oriental to a minor entity between 1602, the year of its formation, and 1661, but it is surprising that neither Dutch nor Portuguese historians have taken an especially close look at precisely how this rivalry began and what strategic pattern the Dutch attackers followed
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 …

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 VOC (The Dutch East India Company) and Its Changing Political Economy in India
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: Madraspatam (Fort St. George) and Sāo Thomé de Meliapur
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…
On Discovering the Expansion of Europe. Interview with George D. Winius
The now banished editors of Itinerario briefly reappear in their familiar roles, this time talking to one another. Leonard Blusse went to see George Winius at his home along the tree-shaded Witte Singel in Leiden, to note down George's afterthoughts on his career as an expansionist. However, the discussion soon developed into a prospect rather than a retrospect

Millenarianism and Empire Portuguese Asian Decline and the ‘Crise de Conscience’ of the Missionaries
Millenarian movements appeared in a number of European countries during the early modern era, but only in Portugal are any of them known to have manifested themselves in a colonial empire. In fact, one form, known as Sebastianism, persisted in Brazil longer than it did in the metropolis and even outlived the colony's independence in 1822. This article, however, does not concern itself with the belief that King Sebastiāo would return miraculously …

The Life of Jaques de Couttre: A Prime Source emerges from the Shades
The Life of Jaques de Couttre , or in its original title, La Vida de Jaques de Couttre , Manuscript no. 2780 of the Biblioteca Nacional de Madrid and dated 1640, is in a parchment quarto of 268 leaves with versos, or about 110,000 words, including an appendix of some pertinent documents after the autobiographical narrative ends on fl. 247. The language of the narrative is Castillian; two of the appended documents are in Portuguese, a third, Jaque…
The Expansion and the Archives of Rome – A Guide for Secular Historians of the Early Modern Period
One of the paradoxes of early modern European expansion history is that the archives of Rome are not necessarily the richest source for information about the Catholic overseas missions. Nor, as one might hope, are they ideally suited for affording an independent view of the workings of the Iberian colonies. Moreover, there are puzzling gaps in the most valuable of the collections, those of the Society of Jesus, no doubt due to the dissolution of …

Third World Development, Historians of the Expansion and “Relevance”
One December afternoon in 1977, Drs. J.P. Pronk, Minister for Development Cooperation in the retiring Den Uyl cabinet, gave a talk in the Senate Chamber of Leiden University which nettled me at the time and has led me to do a good deal of reflecting since. For in it he made his view plain that history was only interesting to him when it was made relevant – in this case combined with other disciplines and applied to problems in the development of …

The Pro at Kew Gardens
Although expansionists are concerned with only a small part of its total holdings, chiefly the records of the Colonial and Foreign Offices, the archives of the Public Record Office in London are nonetheless vital to researchers concerned with aspects of 18th and 19th century British imperalism. Hence it is that any change in the location or accessibility of these documents is bound to be of interest, even though nearly all of us trust the English…

The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History
Last May, when we received a cordial letter from Dr. Peter J.Marshall of King's College, London, the co-editor of The Journal of Commonwealth and Imperial History , we replied immediately. Dr.Marshall had expressed interest in Itinerario and suggested we remain in contact because the two publications obviously had so much in common. It so happened that we were to be in London early in the summer, and so we proposed a meeting, which actually took …
