The cabinet and the world
Early modern European collectors proclaimed that their cabinets contained ‘the world’. What do collections from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries reveal about the ways in which those who assembled, owned and visited them understood objects from other regions and cultures? Inventories, catalogues and descriptions of European collections from the period reveal that the reception of non-European objects was characterized, above all, by practic…
Painting the Aztec Past in Early Colonial Mexico
The “Codex Mendoza” is one of the earliest, most detailed, and most important postconquest accounts of pre-Hispanic Aztec life. Nahuas and Spaniards manufactured the codex through a complex process that involved translations across media, languages, and cultural framings. Translations made Aztec culture legible and acceptable to nonnative viewers and readers by recasting indigenous practices, knowledge, ontology, and epistemology. Following a str…
Visual History
This essay defines the category of "visual history" and introduces its operations across the essays included in this special issue. It proposes that such narratives accelerated time in cultures where it became increasingly common to traverse spatial distances. In this way, visual histories are not simply guides to the times, but guides to time itself

The Imperial Visual Archive
This article examines the role of images as evidence and sources of knowledge in the early modern Hispanic world, arguing for the continued importance of visual epistemology as a technique for producing and circulating knowledge from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries. Visual materials played a central role in the production of knowledge, scientific and imperial, and served as key instruments for addressing the considerable challenges…
Introduction
Imagine a varied collection of objects from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, assembled together under a large silk tent, the size of a spacious meeting hall. The tent itself, made in north India, is lavishly decorated with gold embroidered flowers against a red and blue ground. French mirrors and large almanac prints ornament its soft but sturdy interior walls, interspersed with dozens of Chinese blue and white porcelain plates that hang in…

Atlantic Competitions
A better-known and efficiently administered empire, it was hoped, would furnish rich revenues by providing new natural products that Spain could sell within Europe or use to compete with trade monopolies maintained by other countries. This chapter discusses metropolitan and colonial efforts to locate, exploit, and promote valuable spices throughout the Spanish empire. It highlights the fiercely competitive nature of Atlantic science, which pitted…
