Description

Explore the pivotal role of Portuguese maritime networks in shaping early modern European intellectual and political history with this scholarly examination of knowledge exchanges between Portugal and Europe from the 15th to 17th centuries. This volume investigates how maritime diplomacy, espionage operations, and advances in nautical science facilitated the transfer of ideas, technologies, and strategic information across the Atlantic and Mediterranean worlds during a transformative period of European expansion. Published by Amsterdam University Press as part of the Maritime Humanities series spanning 1400-1800, this work analyses the interconnected systems through which Portuguese navigators, diplomats, and scholars influenced European thinking on navigation, cartography, and international relations. By tracing these knowledge networks, the book reveals how maritime activity extended far beyond commerce and conquest to become a vehicle for scientific innovation and diplomatic strategy. Essential reading for historians of maritime studies, early modern Europe, Portuguese history, and the intellectual foundations of the age of exploration.
