- This book (604 pp.) is based on extensive archival research. Documents were studied in 38 archives in 11 countries. The book is structured around the life-stories of members of an extended family who performed different roles in ‘East-West’ relations during the 16th century (including trade, diplomacy, espionage and corsairing); all but one of those individuals was previously unknown to historical scholarship. Therefore 21 chapters are based primarily on unpublished documents. Years of work were also involved in mastering the wide range of secondary literatures that related to these people’s many different activities.
