This lavishly illustrated book collects papers delivered at the
third Gingko conference: "The Mercantile Effect: On art and
exchange in the Islamicate world during 17th ?18th centuries." Held
in Berlin, this meeting brought together a group of established and
early-career scholars to discuss how the movement of Armenian,
Indian, Chinese, Persian, Turkish, and European merchants and their
trade goods spread new ideas and new technologies across Western
Asia in the early modern era. Through the newly-established Dutch,
English, and French East India companies, as well as much older
mercantile networks, prestigious exotic commodities--silk, ivory,
books, glazed porcelains--were transported east and west. The
collected essays in this volume introduce a fascinating array of
not only trade objects but also customs and traditions that bring
this period of intense cultural interplay to life.
