“…2 Relations between people defending their own comercial interests seem to have been shaped differently. While developing arguments presented in an article on intercultural exchanges Francesca Trivellato published a book (Trivellato 2003(Trivellato , 2009 on transcultural trade in the Portuguese-Jewish diaspora showing that trust was not bound to any particular religious solidarity. More recently, the book organized by Antunes et al (2014) shows that Religious constraints did not prevent cross-cultural trade, and Poettering (2019, pp.…”

In this study I propose rethinking the nature, purposes, and impacts of relations between the kingdoms of Portugal and Kongo in the period between 1511 and 1665. My main argument is that the Pact of Confederation formed by these two kingdoms was decisive, exceptional, and unprecedented. While covert attempts by the Portuguese to gain control of the Kingdom of Kongo were common during this period, the relations spelled out by the pact nevertheless endured for over a century and would have global repercussions. From the vantage point of historiography, the pact presents modern historians with serious difficulties, largely because it spells out modes of interaction that do not fit readily into recognized systems of European colonialism. Central to these modes of interaction is the significant role that religion played in defining Portuguese imperialist policies in Central Africa. In the end, the Pact of Confederation between the kingdoms of Portugal and Kongo forces historians to rethink Portuguese imperial dynamics and the modalities of their presence in Africa and beyond.

“…Supomos que a viagem até Lisboa tenha sido feita por um dos muitos navios venezianos utilizados no comércio com Portugal havia vários séculos. 15 As anotações de compras se sucedem: em junho de 1799, três livros comprados do Livreiro Soapin, em Pádua, e um na loja de Theodoro Viero, em Veneza; em outubro de 1799, três livros comprados no "Negócio Molini" de Florença e dois mapas comprados de Theodoro Viero; em junho de 1800, 11 livros comprados em Siena, inclusive o Emile de Rousseau e as Méditations de Volney; em agosto do mesmo ano, seis títulos adquiridos em Lisboa, todos abordando assuntos jurídicos ou militares. A seguir, o Rol... apresenta livros comprados em Siracusa em 1800 (seis livros, em italiano) e duas gramáticas da língua francesa redigidas em inglês, publicadas em Londres e compradas em "P. to Mahon" (Maó, em Minorca) em janeiro de 1801.…”

ResumoEste trabalho busca investigar algumas formas de comércio e circulação de livros em Portugal, na virada do século XVIII para o XIX, através do estudo da correspondência que Marino Miguel Franzini trocou com livreiros europeus -franceses, em especial -e agentes comerciais responsáveis pela aquisição e transporte dos livros até Portugal. A documentação concentra-se principalmente nas décadas anteriores ao movimento liberal, compondo-se de listas de livros (solicitadas ou entregues), catálogos de obras, faturas, listas de livrarias e cartas trocadas entre Franzini e pessoas ligadas ao comércio de livros. As pistas fornecidas pela documentação reforçam a noção de que a literatura filosófica iluminista e liberal em Portugal foi amplamente disseminada por mecanismos que variavam da compra direta, intermediada por livreiros, marinheiros e mercadores, até o contrabando e a contrafação, realizada por imigrantes e agitadores liberais de diversas nacionalidades. Palavras-chave: história do livro; idéias liberais; redes de comércio. AbstractThis is an attempt at investigating some of the ways books were circulated in Portugal in the late 18 th and early 19 th Century, analyzing the letters exchanged between Marino Miguel Franzini and European booksellers -particularly French, or in France -and commercial agents responsible for acquiring or dispatching the books to Portugal. The documents are concentrated in the decades immediately preceding the liberal movement, and are made up of lists of books (ordered or delivered), book catalogues, invoices and personal letters. These papers show information which strengthens the idea that, in Portugal, the philosophical enlightened literature was broadly spread, through processes which varied from direct purchase, mediated by booksellers, sailors and merchants, to contraband and counterfeiting, done by immigrants and liberal agitators of various nationalities.

“…She has also challenged Greif's premise that merchants restricted their trust-sensitive market transactions to members of their own community. 83 While much of Greif's work may be too narrowly confined to Maghribi Jewish merchants and their intra-community relations, his analysis of those relations remains convincing.…”

Social capital, ‘trust’ and the role of networks in Julfan trade: informal and semi-formal institutions at work

This essay examines the role of 'trust' and cooperation in early modern long-distance trade. While most literature on the subject posits trust as a given attribute of long-distance merchant communities and not as a factor in need of historical explanation or analysis, this essay seeks to provide a historical explanation for the creation and role of trust in such communities. It focuses on the history of Armenian merchants from New Julfa, Isfahan, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The central theoretical model this essay relies upon to explain trust among Julfan Armenian merchants derives from 'social capital' theory as elaborated in sociology and economic sociology, as well as theory from the New Institutional Economics associated with the influential work of Avner Greif. Unlike the latter body of work, however, this essay argues that Julfan trust must be understood not solely as an outcome of informal institutions such as reputation-regulating mechanisms discussed by Greif in his work on Maghribi Jews of the medieval period, but also as a result of the simultaneous combination of both informal and semi-formal legal institutions. In the Julfan context, the essay thus focuses on a merchant arbitrage institution known as the Assembly of Merchants, which enabled Julfan merchants to generate and maintain trust, trustworthiness and uniform norms necessary for collective action and cooperation.
