Description

Explore the history of maritime expansion through this scholarly collection by Roderich Ptak. Published by Routledge, this volume examines the shifting dynamics of trade and ocean routes between the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties. It covers the period from 1000 to 1600, detailing how Chinese ships reached Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean through both government-led initiatives and private seafaring efforts. This third collection in the Variorum Collected Studies series investigates the arrival of foreign merchants in China and the subsequent contact with the Portuguese in the early 16th century. It provides a look into the foundation of Macao in the 1550s and the structural changes in regional trade. This book serves as a detailed resource for those studying the historical connections between the Middle Kingdom and the Nanyang region.
