The route through Quandahar
In recent years there has been a renewed interest among historians in the early modern trade from India towards the West. Frank Perlin has even observed that recent findings in monetary history, documenting the continued importance of the flow of precious metals through the Near and Middle East to India in the seventeenth century, implied ‘important revisions to the now conventional position represented by Steensgaard’. By this Perlin presumably …
The Seventeenth-Century Crisis and the Unity of Eurasian History
The seventeenth-century crisis concept served the research in European history well, it deepened and broadedned and broadened our understanding of well-studied issues, even though we were far from agreeing on a definition of what the seventeenth-century crisis was or is. This is the kind of conceptual embarrassment which baffles our colleagues in the social sciences, but which the historian takes in his stride
The Asian Trade Revolution of the Seventeenth Century. The East India Companies and the Decline of the Caravan Trade
Universal History for Our Times
European shipping to Asia 1497–1700
In recent years the broad lines of development of the seventeenth-century European economy have attracted much attention. In general it is assumed that the European economy passed through a severe crisis some time between the end of the sixteenth century and the second quarter of the eighteenth century, but the chronology and nature of this crisis has remained undecided to an extent which makes it questionable whether the concept of a ‘seventeent…
The first French capitulations
Mr. Niels Steensgaard, in his ‘Consuls and Nations in the Levant from 1570 to 1650’1 referred in note 4, p. 14, to my article on the beginning of Anglo-Turkish relations, and stated: ‘Apparently Horniker is not aware of the existence of the French capitulations of 1569’. There is no point in arguing whether or not I am aware of them, but later on I will give my reasons for omitting reference to them in my article. The implication of Steensgaard's…
Consuls and nations in the Levant from 1570 to 1650
The purpose of this article is to compare the consular institutions of four European states in the Levant during a specific period, in the hope that this will illuminate the strengths and weaknesses of the various institutional forms that were adopted
Freight costs in the English East India trade 1601–1657
Uncertainty about the actual costs of the East India trade in the early seventeenth century has often led to exaggerated ideas of the risks and profits associated with the trade. This lack of knowledge makes it impossible to analyse satisfactorily the conditions during the first half of the seventeenth century which enabled the north-west European countries to prevail in the competition for the East India trade. With few exceptions invoices and l…
