  • A Regional Guide to Books Published by the Hakluyt Society
    A Regional Guide to Books Published by The Hakluyt Society INDIA Compiled by Lionel Knight1 Introduction With the choice of Magellan’s ship, the Victoria, as their logo, the founders of the Hakluyt Society confirmed their international intentions. The authors of the works reviewed below range from Iceland to Russia, and British travel accounts only appear later in the chronological sequence of volumes, and remain, overall, a minority. Since they mainly come from the era of European maritime expansion, it is unsurprising that there are few Asian authors – an Arab / Berber, two Persians and a Chinese – and only one Asian editor. The Society had put the emphasis on ‘voyages’ rather than exploration. So, this Regional Guide, whose subject is India, is open to the objection that it has sliced into the intentions and world-views of many travellers and their promoters. Since antiquity, the Arabian Sea had been a trading zone, and it was the achievement of the Portuguese to link the old local understanding of the wind systems with those of the more difficult Atlantic. There was another established trading system in the Bay of Bengal and beyond. This, also, was important to the Europeans since they needed Indian goods to buy the south-east Asian spices which were in such demand at home. However, this Guide focuses on their understanding and transmission of knowledge about the Indian subcontinent which was the cynosure of most of the voyages. Consequently, some volumes will appear also in other Guides, covering Africa and the Far East or, in the case of Vasco da Gama, in The Southern Voyages and the Antarctic.
