MARE Luso-Indicum. Genéve, Paris. 1971-1973. - MARE Luso-Indicum . Études et Documents sur l'Histoire de l'Océan Indien et des Pays Riverains à l'Époque de la Domination Portugaise. Genéve, Paris: Librarie Droz, 1971-1973. 2 v.: il.; 250 mm. Mare Luso-Indicum was a journal founded by Jean Aubin, with the collaboration of Geneviève Bouchon, dedicated to the study of the Indian Ocean and its coastal countries during the period of Portuguese domination, based primarily on unpublished archival sources, combining Portuguese documentation with Islamic and Persian sources. The publication had only four issues, published between 1971 and 1980; this batch brings together the first two volumes (1971 and 1973), which include fundamental studies by Aubin on Albuquerque's negotiations in Cambay and on the kingdom of Hormuz in the early 16th century, among other reference contributions to the historiography of Portuguese expansion in the Indian Ocean. A magazine with limited circulation and a short lifespan, now rarely found in its entirety, these first two issues are in themselves an essential part of the collection. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
