This book explores how the Medici Grand Dukes pursued ways to
expand their political, commercial, and cultural networks beyond
Europe, cultivating complex relations with the Ottoman Empire and
other Islamicate regions, and looking further east to India, China,
and Japan. The chapters in this volume discuss how casting a
global, cross-cultural net was part and parcel of the Medicean
political vision. Diplomatic gifts, items of commercial exchange,
objects looted at war, maritime connections, and political plots
were an inherent part of how the Medici projected their state on
the global arena. The eleven chapters of this volume demonstrate
that the mobility of objects, people, and knowledge that generated
the global interactions analyzed here was not
unidirectional-rather, it went both to and from Tuscany. In
addition, by exploring evidence of objects produced in Tuscany for
Asian markets,this book reveals hitherto neglected histories of how
Western cultures projected themselves eastwards.
