When war broke out with the Portuguese, Muslim intellectuals in the region wrote treatises and delivered sermons in order to mobilize their community in support of the Zamorins. -

In Iran, the Safavid Dynasty (1500-1629) was reviving that country's fortunes but it was essentially a land- based power, as were the kingdoms and sultanates of India. Had the Portuguese arrived some seventy years earlier, the situation would have been very different, for then China was expanding its naval power. In 1368, the Yuan Dynasty had been toppled by the native Ming who were to control China for nearly three hundred years. The Ming Dynasty reached its peak during the reign of the third Ming emperor, Yung Lo (1403-24), who planned a huge programme of trade and exploration abroad. 27,000 men and a fleet of 317 ships were placed under the command of the admiral Zheng He (Cheng ho). Between 1405 and 1433 Zheng He made seven great voyages. -

Prince Henry and India
Doubling the World Enough for us that the hidden half of the globe is brought to light, and the Portuguese daily go farther and farther beyond the equator. Thus shores unknown will soon become accessible; for one in emulation of another sets forth in labors and mighty perils. —PETER MARTYR (1493) The 1400s in a Nutshell: Discovering the Unknown In the West: § Ptolemy (geography) is revived § The Portuguese begin the first state sponsored continuous exploration § Spain Responds (via efforts of Christopher Columbus) § A new continent is discovered In the Middle East: • The Arabs stagnate; maintain their roles as middle men traders In the East: • The Chinese explore one-third of the planet; then stop cold THE blocking of the land paths proved a godsend. Driven by new incentives to go to sea, Europeans would discover waterways to everywhere. From the whole period of the Great Interruption, the fourth until the fourteenth century, no mariner's charts survive. In that age of widespread illiteracy, sailors passed on their traditional knowledge by word of mouth. From about 1300, however, we do find Mediterranean sea charts (portolanos), offering useful details for the next generation of mariners. To reach Asia by water from the Mediterranean countries meant leaving the closed for the open sea. Mediterranean voyages were mostly coastwise sailing, which meant relying on personal experience of those particular places—local winds and currents, familiar landmarks, well-known offshore islands and the distinctive silhouette of a neighboring mountain. When Portuguese sailors advanced southward down the coast of Africa, they left behind all familiar landmarks. -
Secrecy, Ostentation, and the Illustration of Exotic Animals in Sixteenth-Century Portugal
ANNALS OF SCIENCE, Vol. 66, No. 1, January 2009, 59Á82 Secrecy, Ostentation, and the Illustration of Exotic Animals in Sixteenth-Century Portugal PALMIRA FONTES DA COSTA Unit of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, Faculty of Sciences and Technology, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 2829-516 Campus da Caparica, Portugal Received 6 December 2007. Revised paper accepted 5 August 2008 Summary During the first decades of the sixteenth century, several animals described and viewed as exotic by the Europeans were regularly shipped from India to Lisbon. This paper addresses the relevance of these ‘new’ animals to knowledge and visual representations of the natural world. It discusses their cultural and scientific meaning in Portuguese travel literature of the period as well as printed illustrations, charts and tapestries. This paper suggests that Portugal did not make the most of its unique position in bringing news and animals from Asia. This was either because secrecy associated with trade and military interests hindered the diffusion of illustrations presented in Portuguese travel literature or because the illustrations commissioned by the nobility were represented on expensive media such as parchments and tapestries and remained treasured possessions. However, the essay also proposes that the Portuguese contributed to a new sense of the experience and meaning of nature and that they were crucial mediators in access to new knowledge and new ways of representing the natural world during this period.

Bitasion Les Habitations-Plantations Constituent Le Creuset Historique Et Symbolique Où Fut Fondu L’Alliage Original Que Sont Les Cultures Antillaises
Kelly & Bérard Ouvrage dirigé par Bitasion Les habitations-plantations constituent le creuset historique et symbolique où fut fondu l’alliage original que sont les cultures antillaises. Elles sont le berceau des sociétés créoles contemporaines qui y ont puisé tant leur forte parenté que leur Bitasion - Archéologie des habitations-plantations des Petites Antilles diversité. Leur étude a été précocement le terrain de prédilection des historiens. Les archéologues antillanistes se consacraient alors plus volontiers à l’étude des sociétés précolombiennes. Ainsi, en dehors des travaux pionniers de J. Handler et F. Lange à la Barbade, c’est surtout depuis la fin des années 1980 qu’un véritable développement de l’archéologie des habitations-plantations antillaises a pu être observé. Les questions pouvant être traitées par l’archéologie des habitations-plantations sont extrêmement riches et multiples et ne sauraient être épuisées par la publication d’un unique ouvrage. Les différents chapitres qui composent ce livre dirigé par K. Kelly et B. Bérard n’ont pas vocation à tendre à l’exhaustivité. Ils nous semblent, par contre, être représentatifs, par la variété des questions abordée et la diversité des angles d’approche, de la dynamique actuelle de ce champ de la recherche. Cette diversité est évidemment liée à celle des espaces concernés: les habitations-plantations de cinq îles des Petites Antilles : Antigua, la Guadeloupe, la Dominique, la Martinique et la Barbade sont ici étudiées. Elle est aussi, au sein d’un même espace, due à la cohabitation de différentes pratiques universitaires. Nous espérons que cet ouvrage, tout en diffusant une information jusqu’à présent trop dispersée, sera le point de départ de nouveaux travaux. -
Survey of Primary Sources
APPENDIX A Survey of Primary Sources This appendix describes the main primary sources referred to when writing the text. [1] Ship Registers. Several sets of sources were used to study the diffusion of Asian goods across the Spanish Empire. There are no official reports or lists of merchandise trans- ported in the Manila galleons. For trans- Pacific trade, the monarchy did not gather lists of merchandise, as it did for trade passing through the Atlantic ports of Veracruz, Nombre de Dios- Portobelo, and Seville. With respect to ships sailing across the Pacific Ocean, the monarchy simply collected the avería tax and the almojarifazgo tax. Collec- tion of the former tax was soon managed by the merchant guild of Mexico. Documents related to the latter tax, although managed by royal servants in collaboration with the merchants of Acapulco, do not contain detailed lists of merchandise – only totals of the tax sums collected. For this reason I used private merchant reports of merchandise, which the commercial agents of Manila sent to Mexico City’s wholesalers along with the merchandise itself, to analyse the exporting and diffusion of Asian goods from the Philippines to Castile. These private merchant reports of merchandise are guarded in the Archivo General de la Nación (agn) of Mexico. The export of Asian goods from New Spain to Castile (figure 2) and the prices of silk in Veracruz (figure 3) were analysed using more well-known sources: the so- called inward registers to Seville from New Spain (registros de venida de la Nueva España) and the reg- isters of the avería tax.
