POSSIBLY some of the readers of the Geoge-aphical Journal will recollect an ancient sketch-uap of Bombay harbour, which was found a few trears ago in one of the lo^,.s of the East India Company's vessels, and was brought to notice by Sir George Birdwood in the reprint (1891) of his report on the early records of the India Office. This drawing attlacted considerable attention at the time of its publication, and has since been reproduced on more than one occasion. We are no^s enabled, by the permission of the allthorities, to give a facsimile of a second sketch fiom the same journal, representirlg the once famous town and castle of Ormus, as they appeared in the year 1627. Otmus is to-day little more than a name a heap of slowla crumbling ruins, among which stand the mat huts of perhaps a couple of hundred fishermen. The old Portuguese fort, only a degree less ruinous than the town itself, looks over a bay whose waters are seldown disturled by a European keel; and the handful of Persian soldiers who forln it.s garrison have little to do but keep guard over a few prisoners sent over from Bandar Abbasi for safe custody. But, as every one knows, this was not always so; on the contrary, there was a time when the island nvas one of the most important trading eentres of the Eastern seas, and its Ilatne was a synonym to Western ears for all that was wealthy and magnifieent.* Its situation at the entranee of the Persian Glllf made it a eonvenient halfwat--house in the line of traffie from the Indies to Europe via Aleppo; while on its own aeeount it earried on a brisk trade with India, espeeially in horses, obtained from the neighbouring mainland. The early travellers vie nvith one another in estolling its riehes and the immensity of its traffie. " Ormus is a vacst emporiun of the world," xvrote Athanasius Nikitin in the fifteentll century; " 5 ou find there people and goods of every deseription;" and more tharl a century later John Newbery found there " merehants of all nations " and " very great trade." Prosperity, however, brought with it its Nemesis in the shape of attacks from would-be possessors of an island so rieh and so admirably situated. It at once attlaeted the llotiee of the great Albuquerque when * Cp. ' Paradise Lost,' ii. 2.

In 1507 he reduced the island, and commenced to erect a fortress. A mutiny of his captains forced him to abandon his project for a time; but eight years later he resumed his task, and did not leave the island until he had seen the fortress completed and equipped. The Portuguese domination was by no means tamely acquiesced in; and Arabs, Turks, and Persians tried in turn to oust the European intruders. At last, in 16'22, the forces of Shah Abbas, with the assistance of some English ships frotn Surat, captured the fort after a desperate resistance. The garrison was deported to Goa, and the other inhabitants, it would #eelzl to Bandar Abbasi, to which port the Persians wished to diere3rt the trade of the island; the town, already much damaged during the siege of the castle, was plundered of everything movable, even the stones of tlle houses being in rnany cases carried off for building mate- rial; and the island was left, as it has evel since remained, desolate and practically uninhabited. Nearly five years had passed since the estinction of the town, when the author of our sketch-David Davies, master's mate of the East India Company's ship Da.scovery found himself in Olmus roads with an idle hour on his hands, and utili7.ed this leisure in putting on paper in his rough way the view which lay before him. After the marauding es- pedition down the Malabar coast, which produced the map of Bombay harbour already referred to, the Discovery returned to Surat, and thence, on Decembel 1S, 1626, sailed, in company with five other ships, some of which were apparently Dutch, with a cargo of goods for the factors at Gombroon. Their destination was reached on the 18th of the following month, and the holds were in due course emptied of their contents. There seems to have been little in the way of merchandise for the ships to take back to Surat, e2rcept what native traders might care to venture. It was necessary, therefore, to procure a qtlantity of ballast; and so on the 30th three of the vessels the Discovery amongst them were sent across to C&rmus to fetch stones for this purpose from the ruins of the old town. This occupied them for five days, and it was during the period thns spent that Davies made his sketch, stretching it, as will be seen, across two pages of his journal. Their task ended, the three ships returned to their consorts, and at laidnight on iEsebruary 18 the fleet sailed for Surat, which was reached without incident on the 10th of the -following montb. To fillly appreciate the picture of Ormus thus presented to view, it should be studied side by side with the illustrations to a paper by Captain A. W. StifEe, I.N., which appeared in the Geographacal Magazane for Apri], 1874. This valuable article gives not only a sumleary of the history of the island, particularly of the siege of 1622, but also an interesting account of its condition at the time of the writer's visit in 1873. The illustrations include a sketch of the fort and landint,-place, N0.

HORTON RYLEY Member of the Hnkhiyt Society LONDON T. FISHER UNWIN PATERNOSTER SQUARE 1899 reserved.'} PREFACE much has been written of recent years of the SOhistory of what is generally known as the East India Company, and so much interesting matter has of late been brought to light from its earliest records, that it seems strange that the first successful English expedition to discover the Indian trade should have been, comparatively speaking, overlooked. Before the first East India Company was formed the Levant Com- pany lived and flourished, largely through the efforts of two London citizens. Sir Edward Osborne, sometime Lord Mayor, and Master Richard Staper, merchant. To these men and their colleagues we owe the incep- tion of our great Eastern enterprise. To the fact that among them there were those who were daring enough, and intelligent enough, to carry their extra- ordinary programme into effect we owe our appear- ance as competitors in the Indian seas almost simultaneously with the Dutch. The beginning of our trade with the East Indies is generally dated from the first voyage of James Lancaster, who sailed from Plymouth in 1591. But, great as his achievement was, , **** 513241 vi PREFACE and immediately pregnant with consequences of a permanent character, he was not the first Englishman to reach India, nor even the first to return with a valuable store of commercial information.

Copyright reserved by the author Price Rs. 80.00 (India) S 15.00 (Abroad) Printed at the St Joseph's Press, Mannanam, 1984. PREFACE Love for documents and a sense of criticism are authentic signs of true search for history. Though the Indians in general and the people of Kerala in particular do not have the habit of preserving documents of the past, today many people and centres are interested in collecting and preserving historical documents. Unlike in the recent past more and more people are making critical study of history with the help of authentic documents. Care for the past and the practice of documented criticism was lacking in studies on Kerala history in general and history of Christianity in Kerala in particular. Writing of history of Kerala, especi«lly of the Christian communities, has to take a new turn of becoming more documented. Many people have realised the need for such a change in writing history. Many have moved in those lines. It is in pursuance of this target that I decided to make an in-depth study of the Narratives of Joseph the Indian, a magnificent description of India in 1500 AD, as it came from the lips of an Indian and recorded by a European.

CONTENTS: Text 1 Presentation powerpoint slides 19 Conference abstracts & publication details 30 ABSTRACT Malacca (Melaka) entered the modern age violently on July 1st, 1511, when Afonso de Albuquerque salvoed his guns at the city as he blockaded the port. The siege was short and brutal. Its success, gained by 900 Portuguese and 200 Hindu mercenaries in eighteen ships, took the locals by complete surprise thinking the force puny compared to the 20,000 men with 20 war elephants and an impressive arsenal of artillery ranged against them. Even though the Portuguese had only been in Asia for just over a decade, they had been quick to appreciate Malacca’s strategic importance as a trading hub. A point of exchange for valuable cargoes from the archipelago to the South and Chinese ports to the East, it was located strategically between two legs of the monsoon trade cycles. Controlling the Straits fell in with Albuquerque’s ambition to regulate and tax all shipping on this route by the savage enforcement of safe-conduct navigational ‘cartazes’ to be issued by the Portuguese who considered the Indian Ocean and Asian seas as their Sovereign territory. To implement this regime, the Portuguese needed a strategically placed fortified base to assemble fleets and levy duties, enforced by superior naval gunnery and ruthless tactics.

The full extent of this map covers the Red Sea and part of East Africa, the Arabian Peninsula from the Mediterranean Sea to the Arabian Sea, and part of western Iran. The map shows physical features, settlements and caravan routes. The Arabian Peninsula is segmented into the Latin terms Arabia Felix, Arabia Deserta, and Arabia Petraea, as was cartographically customary at the time. A simple, square cartouche is included at bottom left, stating the title and naming “H. Moll Geographer” as the author. At top right a scale bar is included in English miles. The choice of the name "Gulph of Bassora" for the Persian Gulf is noteworthy on this map. More traditional maps of the area, particularly maps created by Islamic cartographers, typically named the Gulf after Persia and had done so for a significant amount of time. This naming is due to the commercial importance of the city of Basra, located in Iraq at the head of the Persian Gulf, in establishing trade routes between Europe and the East. English merchants had sought to secure a direct trade route from India up the Persian Gulf and through the Levant.
