By turns exotic, valuable and of cardinal importance in the
development of world trade, spices, as the editor reminds us, are
today a mundane accessory in any well-equiped kitchen; in the
15th-18th centuries, the spice trade from the Indian Ocean to
markets all over the world was a major economic enterprise. Setting
the scene with extracts from Garcia da Orta's fascinating
contemporary Colloquies on the drugs and simples of India [Goa
1563], this collection reviews trade in a wide variety of spices,
exploring merchant organisation, transport and marketing as well as
detailing the quantitative evidence on the fluctuations in spice
trade. The evidence and historical debates concerning the
16th-century revival of the Mediterranean and Red Sea spice trade
at this time, are fully represented here
