The expansion of the Cholas from their base in the Kaveri Delta saw this growing power subdue the kingdoms of southern India, as well as occupy Sri Lanka and the Maldives, by the early eleventh century. It was also during this period that the Cholas initiated links with Song China. Concurrently, the Southeast Asian polity of Sriwijaya had, through its Sumatran and Malayan ports, come to occupy a key position in East-West maritime trade, requiring engagement with both Song China to the north and the Chola kingdom to its west. The apparently friendly relations pursued were, however, to be disrupted in 1025 by Chola naval expeditions against fourteen key port cities in Southeast Asia. This volume examines the background, course and effects of these expeditions, as well as the regional context of the events. It brings to light many aspects of this key period in Asian history. Unprecedented in the degree of detail assigned to the story of the Chola expeditions, this volume is also unique in that it includes translations of the contemporary Tamil and Sanskrit inscriptions relating to Southeast Asia and of the Song dynasty Chinese texts relating to the Chola Kingdom.

This comprehensive history provides a fresh interpretation of Southeast Asia from 100 to 1500, when major social and economic developments foundational to modern societies took place on the mainland (Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam) and the island world (Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines). Incorporating the latest archaeological evidence and international scholarship, Kenneth R. Hall enlarges upon prior histories of early Southeast Asia that did not venture beyond 1400, extending the study of the region to the Portuguese seizure of Melaka in 1511. Written for a wide audience of no

La poussée de la navigation occidentale au-delà du cap de Bonne Espérance et l'activité connue des diverses compagnies des Indes sont les références habituelles auxquelles renvoie le commerce de l'Asie entre le XVIe et le XVIIIe siècle. Les Européens ont pourtant rencontré sur les routes de l'Asie, maritimes ou continentales, des communautés marchandes bien établies qui, au gré des circonstances et avant la colonisation, ont été aussi bien leurs concurrents que leurs partenaires. Les Arméniens, déjà présents en Europe, sont l'une d'elles ; le principal réseau commercial qui les représente à partir du XVIIe siècle est celui de la Nouvelle-Djoulfa, un faubourg arménien fondé près d'Isfahan après la déportation de l'Arménie du Centre-Est par le chah de Perse Abbas Ier en 1604-1605. En se déployant d'Amsterdam au Bengale et au Tibet, et jusqu'aux îles Philippines, en prenant appui sur toute une série de ports et d'étapes répartis des rives de la Baltique ou de la Méditerranée à celles de l'océan Indien ou de la mer de Chine, le réseau commercial formé par les Arméniens de la Nouvelle-Djoulfa a de quoi susciter la curiosité, sinon la passion de l'historien. Il n'a pas manqué de surprendre aussi les contemporains : de la Nouvelle-Djoulfa, dont il découvre le faste grandissant, le chevalier de Chardin dira qu'il est peut-être le plus gros bourg du monde ; Gabriel de Chinon y verra, lui, une petite république. Pourvoyeurs d'épices, de tissus, de soie, des produits les plus variés des Indes ou de l'Europe, les marchands arméniens sont aussi les financiers du chah de Perse, les ambassadeurs de l'empereur d'Éthiopie; ils deviennent armateurs dans l'océan Indien, maîtrisent les techniques comptables et commerciales en usage en Orient ou en Occident, négocient avec les souverains ou les compagnies. Ils tentent également, alors que se construit le monde moderne, d'y faire une place à leur nation, à la fois ancrée dans un pays partagé et déterritorialisée. Dans la lignée de…
