A reassessment of literary,<br />epigraphic, and archaeological sources reveals hisorical contexts for<br />the growth of the Buddhist sagha from approximately the 5th century BCE<br />to the end of the first millennium CE. Patterns of dynamic Buddhist<br />mobility were closely linked to transregional trade networks extending<br />to the northwestern borderlands and joined to Central Asian silk routes<br />by capillary routes through transit zones in the upper Indus and Tarim<br />Basin. By examining material conditions for Buddhist establishments at<br />nodes along these routes, this book challenges models of gradual<br />diffusion and develops alternative explanations for successful Buddhist<br />movement.<br /><br />Table of Contents <br /><br />Chapter 1: Introduction: Road Map for Travelers<br />Models for the Movement of Buddhism <br />Merit, Merchants, and the Buddhist Sagha<br />Sources and Methods for the study of Buddhist Transmission<br />Outline of Destinations<br /><br />Chapter 2: Historical Contexts for the Emergence and Transmission of<br />Buddhism within South Asia<br />Initial Phases of the Establishment of Early Indian Buddhist<br />Communities<br />Legacy of the Mauryans: Aśoka as Dharmarāja <br />Migrations, Material Exchanges, and Cross-Cultural Transmission in<br />Northwestern Contact Zones<br />Saka Migrants and Mediators between Central Asia and South Asia<br />Dynamics of Mobility during the Kuāa Period<br />Shifting Networks of Political Power and Institutional Patronage during<br />the Gupta Period<br />Cross-Cultural Transmission between South Asia and Central Asia, ca.<br />500-100 CE<br />Conclusions<br /><br />Chapter 3: Trade Networks in Ancient South Asia<br />Northern Route (Uttarāpatha)<br />Southern Route (Dakiāpatha)<br />Seaports and Maritime Routes across the Indian Ocean<br />Conclusions<br /><br />Chapter 4: Old Roads in the Northwestern Borderlands<br />Environmental Conditions for Buddhist Transmission in Gandhāra<br />Gandhāran Material and Literary Cultures<br />Gandhāran Nodes and Networks<br />Routes of Buddhist Missionaries and Pilgrims to and from Gandhāra<br />Domestication of Gandharan Buddhism<br />Conclusions<br /><br />Chapter 5: Capillary Routes of the Upper Indus<br />Geography, Economy, and Capillary Routes in a High Altitude<br />Environment<br />Graffiti, Petroglyphs, and Pilgrims<br />Enigma of an Absence of Archaeological Evidence and Manifestations<br /> of Buddhist Presence<br />Conclusions<br /><br />Chapter 6: Long-Distance Transmission to Central Asian Silk Routes and<br />China<br />Silk Routes of Eastern Central Asia<br />Long-distance Transmission Reconsidered<br />Conclusions<br /><br />Chapter 7: Conclusions: Alternative Paths and Paradigms of Buddhist<br />Transmission<br />Catalysts for the Formation and Expansion of the Buddhist Sagha<br />Changing Paradigms for Buddhist Transmission within and beyond South<br />Asia.<br /><br />[CONTACT DETAILS:<br />Jason Neelis,<br />Assistant Professor,<br />Department of Religion and Culture,<br />Wilfrid Laurier University,<br />Waterloo, ON, Canada N2L 3C5 <br />email: jneelis--at--wlu.ca ]<br /><font size="-1"><hr/><i>Please note that the above details were correct on the day this post was published.

With an abstract to every article in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. - dz." <br /><br />Self-description: <br />"The 'East Asian World' in this context comprises geographically speaking the regions of China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan (core region) and their neighbours or regions that were considered their 'peripheries' (such as for example Mongolia, Tibet, Vietnam etc.), including relevant predecessors (such as the Ryukyus, Bohai or Manchuria). Exchange relations and interaction with countries and regions beyond this East Asian world, like India, Russia and all the countries on the Eurasian continent, continental and insular Southeast Asia, regions around the Persian Gulf and generally the macro-region of what is designated as the 'Oriental world' - in contrast to 'Occidental Europe' - as well as interaction with for example the American or African continent are also part of the focus, as long as there existed important and/or sustainable contacts to the mentioned regions in East Asia. East Asia is thus treated as an entity made up of different countries and regions with similarities, but also with distinctive differences, concentrating on their interconnectedness and exchange relations, while emphasizing its relations to the macro-regions of Asia, Eurasia and the Orient, but also cross-Pacific interchange. The focus of contributions are both continental (overland) and maritime (overseas) exchange relations of bilateral and multilateral interaction structures. With regard to contents, major emphasis will be placed on the transfer of science and technologies, cultural aspects in their widest interpretation, religions, commodity and product exchange, trade, as well as migration and the organisation of functioning networks. <br />[...] Readers can choose between payment per article or annual subscription.

References to pirates on the western Indian coastland contained in Graeco-Roman sources such as the Periplus Maris Erythraei (first century AD), the Natural History of Pliny (first century AD) and the Geographia of Ptolemy (second century AD) have been taken at face value and integrated into historical discourse without critical analysis. This study seeks to situate the 'piracy and trade' theme in proper historical perspective; both in the context of the western Indian coastlands and the Indian Ocean in general. The study draws from archaeological surveys of the Konkan and Kanara coastal tracts conducted between 1992-96 and 2000-2002.<br /><font size="-1"><hr/><i>Please note that the above details were correct on the day this post was published.

In particular, parts of the ancient road were clearly recognized by analyzing the archaeological sites found standing along a line on satellite images and aerial photographs. <br />(2) Buildings and facilities related with the ancient road, such as ancient bridges, ancient industry sites, and dharmshalas (rest-house chapels), were newly discovered through the same analysis. <br />(3) Predictions and assumptions derived from RS/GIS methodologies were verified by field surveys conducted by specialists in archaeology, anthropology, and informatics. In other words, RS/GIS methodologies also could be used to decide an area of field survey in advance. [...] This paper describes the role and significance of geo-informatics in the study of the royal road from Angkor to Phimai, presents new findings obtained from application of geo-informatics in archaeological studies, describes how GIS/RS technologies were applied, and discusses effectiveness of applying the satellite image ASTER1) and SRTM2) elevation data in the project.<br />URI: http://hdl.handle.net/2433/88033<br /><font size="-1"><br /><hr/><i>Please note that the above details were correct on the day this post was published.

Press USA.Src: H-Net list for Asian History and Culture (H-ASIA--at--H-NET.MSU.EDU)<br /><br />April 15, 2010<br /><br />Member Publication: "The Ottoman Age of Exploration" by Giancarlo Casale <br />**************<br />From: Giancarlo Casale (glcasale--at--gmail.com)<br /><br />Dear List Members,<br /><br />I'm pleased to announce the publication of my new book, The Ottoman Age of<br />Exploration (Oxford University Press USA, February 25, 2010). Book<br />description and table of contents follow. Thank you for your indulgence,<br /><br />Giancarlo Casale<br /><br />Description:<br /><br />In 1517, the Ottoman Sultan Selim the Grim conquered Egypt and brought <br />his empire for the first time in history into direct contact with the <br />trading world of the Indian Ocean. During the decades that followed, the <br />Ottomans became progressively more engaged in the affairs of this vast and<br />previously unfamiliar region, eventually to the point of launching a<br />systematic ideological, military and commercial challenge to the<br />Portuguese Empire, their main rival for control of the lucrative trade<br />routes of maritime Asia.<br /><br />The Ottoman Age of Exploration is the first comprehensive historical<br />account of this century-long struggle for global dominance, a struggle<br />that raged from the shores of the Mediterranean to the Straits of Malacca,<br />and from the interior of Africa to the steppes of Central Asia. Based on<br />extensive research in the archives of Turkey and Portugal, as well as<br />materials written on three continents and in a half dozen languages, it<br />presents an unprecedented picture of the global reach of the Ottoman state<br />during the sixteenth century. It does so through a dramatic recounting of<br />the lives of sultans and viziers, spies, corsairs, soldiers-of-fortune,<br />and women from the imperial harem. Challenging traditional narratives of<br />Western dominance, it argues that the Ottomans were not only active<br />participants in the Age of Exploration, but ultimately bested the<br />Portuguese in the game of global politics by using sea power, dynastic<br />prestige, and commercial savoir faire to create their own imperial<br />dominion throughout the Indian Ocean.<br /><br />Table of Contents:<br />Introduction: An Empire of the Mind (pp.3-12)<br />Chapter One: Selim the Navigator, 1512-1520 (pp.13-33)<br />Chapter Two: Ibrahim Pasha and the Age of Reconnaissance, 1520-1536<br />(pp.34-52)<br />Chapter Three: Hadim Süleiman Pasha's World War, 1536-1546 (pp.53-83)<br />Chapter Four: Rüstem Pasha versus the Indian Ocean Faction, 1546-1561<br />(pp.84-116)<br />Chapter Five: Sokollu Mehmed Pasha and the Apogee of Empire, 1561-1579<br />(pp.117-151)<br />Chapter Six: A Man, a Plan, a Canal: Mir Ali Beg's Expeditions to the<br />Swahili Coast, 1579-1589 (pp.152-179)<br />Chapter Seven: The Death of Politics (pp.180-204)<br /><br />Notes: pp.205-248<br />Works Cited: pp.249-270<br />Index: pp.271-281<br /><font size="-1"><br /><hr/><i>Please note that the above details were correct on the day this post was published.

Waug, University of Washington (Seattle)] is dedicated to public education about the history and cultures of Eurasia, especially in pre-modern times. While we invoke the historic "Silk Road" in our title, our view of the Silk Roads is an expansive one, encompassing pre-history, the era beginning with the establishment of trans-Eurasian trade and cultural interaction some two millennia ago, and the subsequent history of those interactions down through the centuries. Modern evocations of cultural traditions are of interest, especially in the areas which historically have been the domain of pastoral nomads. We publish articles by well known scholars and those who have other expertise on the regions and material of interest. Where possible we are communicating the results of the latest research, including new archaeological investigations. The journal also serves as the means to alert readers about upcoming programs connected with Silk Road topics." <br /><br />Site contents: <br /><br />* Current Issue!

C.<br /><br />Such route was of strategic importance both in ancient times and today, when the flow of the sources of energy and the information, which are crucial to the development of many continental areas, are more evident.<br /><br />What was the function of the ancient via Egnatia may be found today in two slightly different positions: either northwards, under the name of Corridor 8, a connection project aimed at linking Bulgaria, Macedonia and Albania from the Black Sea through the bench marks of Varna, Burgas, Sofia, Skopje, Durazzo, with the exclusion of the modern Greece and the Thessalonica harbour; or, somehow in alternative, more southwards, by keeping its name and following, in its final section, another ancient route which, from Larissa junction, led to the Ionian Sea (the Nea Egnatia, with its harbour at Igoumenitsa). <br /><br />The need to tackle the problem of the topographical reconstruction of such route with a systematic and analytic approach, far from being solved, is at the roots of the book published by Michele Fasolo. The first volume specifically aims at recovering, re-examining and updating the knowledge of Via Egnatia and the ancient path that preceded it, known in the Roman age as a road of Candavia, in the Albanian central region, running from the Adriatic coast to the area of Ochrida lake and, more eastwards, until the ancient town of Herakleia Lynkestidos in Macedonia."<br /><br />Michele Fasolo, La via Egnatia I.

The project makes available multimedia contents of a scientific, educational, and cultural nature on the history of the discoveries and the Portuguese expansion. <br />The Virtual Encyclopaedia of Portuguese Expansion is meant for a broad audience both within and outside Portugal, including secondary school students, university students and researchers, social communication professionals, and all those interested in the history of the discoveries and the Portuguese expansion. <br />The Virtual Encyclopaedia of Portuguese Expansion offers articles, images, maps, chronologies, and genealogies of a condensed nature, but endowed with great scientific authority and reliability. It is continually being expanded and updated. The materials are produced by professors and researchers from the academia and validated by a scientific committee composed of the most renowned national and foreign historians. The project covers a vast geographical area which extends from the Azores to Japan, and a period of time from the beginning of the 15th century to the end of the 18th century. <br />The bilingual [PT/EN - ed.] nature of the Virtual Encyclopaedia of Portuguese Expansion makes it an indispensable means for the international dissemination of the history and historiography of the Portuguese presence around the world (though, for technical reasons, the online availability of English-language translations might not keep pace with the Portuguese entries, and vice versa). The national character of the Portuguese expansive enterprise is emphasized, along with its integration into a wider European context and its importance for a new emerging European consciousness which is now suspended between criticism and apology for the process of Western expansion." <br /><br />Site contents [as of early June 2009 - ed.]: <br />* Anthroponyms (Abreu, Luis de - Adami, Joao Mateus - Adao de Hizen [...] - Vieira, Sebastiao - Vilela, Gaspar - Zola, Joao Baptista) <br />* Arts (Azamor, frescos da Tomada de - Carpets, Spain - Tapetes, Turkey - Carpets, Turkey "Bellini" - Carpets, Turkey "Holbein" - Carpets, Turkey "Lotto" - Carpets, Turkey "Ushak" - Chinoiserie - Indo-Portuguese, art - Saint, Francis Xavier, Tomb - Sino-Portuguese, art - Wire rods of gold paper) <br />* Literature (Almanach Perpetuum - Antonil, Padre Andre Joao - Aristotelianism in Natural Philosophy - Barbosa, Duarte de - Barros, Joao de - Castanheda, Fernao Lopes de - Correia, Gaspar - Frois, Luis - Gois, Damiao de - Lagoa, 4.o Visconde de - Ptolemy's Geography: Graphic Syntax and Projections); <br />* Politics (AlcAcovas-Toledo, Treaty of - Convention of Goa - Daikan - Diplomacy in the Restoration Period - General Captaincy of Azores - Portugal and Italian Cities (14th-16th Centuries) - Portuguese-British Treaty - Portuguese-English Bilateral Relations - Treaty of Westminster); <br />* Products (Elephants - Glue - Tea - Tobacco); <br />* Religion; <br />* Themes and Facts (Almanacs - Astronomical Navigation - Astronomical Tables - Balestilha - Books of Route - Cartography - Compass - Dutch blockades of Goa - Equador - Height East-West - Height Navigation - India Fleet of 1500 - India Run - Itineraries - Log-books - Loxodromic line - Incindent of Madre Deus - Mocambique, Prazos da Coroa de - Mozambique, Dutch sieges of - Naus, Ribeira das - Nautical Guides - Navy Books - Portolano - Portuguese Nautical Science - Quadrant - Regiment - Rules of Evora - Rules of Munique - Rules of the South Cruise - Secret of Secrets - Shipboard Books - Treaty of Sphere - Zenith Distance - 'Genoese World Map' drawn in 1457); <br />* Toponyms (Georeferencing - Achem - Adem - Agadir - Santa Cruz do Cabo de Gue - AlcAcer Ceguer - AlcAcer-Quibir - Angra do Heroismo - Ano Bom island - Arguim - Arzila - Ayuthia - Azamor - Bacaim - Baia CabrAlia - Barcelor - Beijing - Belem do ParA - Benguela - Bissau - Brazil - Cacheu - Calicute - Cananor - Cantao - Cape of Good Hope - Ceuta - Ceylon - Chaul - Chicova - Colombo, city of - Coulao - Damao - Dili - Diu - Fernando Po island - Fort Cochin - Fukuda - Funchal - Goa - Hirado - Horta - Ielala, Rocks - Kagoshima - Kupang - Kyoto - Lagos - Lisbon - Luanda - Macau - Madeira - Malacca - Manaus - Mangalor - Mariana - Mascate - Mazagao - Meliapor - Melinde - Mogi, city of - Monbasa - Mocambique island - Mumbai - Nagasaki, city of - Natal - Oita - Omura - Onor - Ormus - Osaka - Ouro Preto - Pegu - Pernambuco - Pernambuco - Ponta Delgada - Praia (Azores) - Praia (Cape Verde) - Prince island - Quelimane - Quiloa - Ribeira Grande (Cape Verde) - Rio de Janeiro - Rios de Sena - Sacramento (Uruguai) - Safi - Sagres - Saint Helena, island - Salvador (Bahia) - Sao Jorge da Mina - Sao Luis do Maranhao - Sao Nicolau, ilha de - Sao Paulo - S.

However, whereas the Western historiography usually discusses Indian cotton and Chinese silk in connection with European imports, or with their sales in the Indian Ocean and the Middle East, cotton and silk were also exchanged between India and China. Indeed, Indian cotton and Chinese silk were probably the principal manufactured goods exchanged between these civilizations. Although Indian records are fragmentary, especially when compared with the voluminous Chinese sources, Indian cotton goods are known to have reached the Indianized states in Xinjiang in the early Common Era (CE), and may have been produced there, in Khotan and the neighbouring states, by the time that indigenous silk production was known to exist in India in the fourth and fifth centuries CE. Yet, while in later centuries large amounts of cotton cloth were produced in China while indigenous centres of silk production developed in India, exchanges of the finest types of cotton and silk cloth continued, usually driven by cultural and social factors in each civilization.<font size="-1"><br /><hr/><i>Please note that the above details were correct on the day this post was published.
