Examining a wealth of multilingual primary sources, Birgit Tremml-Werner shows that crosscultural encounters not only shaped Manila's development as a ŸEurasianŒ port city, but also had profound political, economic, and social ramifications for the three premodern states. Combining a systematic comparison with a focus on specific actors during this period, this book addresses many long-held misconceptions and offers a more balanced   and multifaceted view of these nations' histories.     UR - https://openresearchlibrary.org/content/2340b022-b212-4dce-bd5e-8d9b1d23a825 ER -
