The European tributary states of the Ottoman Empire in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries /
:
The European Tributary States of the Ottoman Empire is the first comprehensive overview of the empire's relationship to its various European tributaries, Moldavia, Wallachia, Transylvania, Ragusa, the Crimean Khanate and the Cossack Hetmanate. The volume focuses on three fundamental aspects of the empire's relationship with these polities: the various legal frameworks which determined their positions within the imperial system, the diplomatic contacts through which they sought to influence the imperial center, and the military cooperation between them and the Porte. Bringing together studies by eminent experts and presenting results of several less-known historiographical traditions, this volume contributes significantly to a deeper understanding of Ottoman power at the peripheries of the empire.

Jesuit Missions in Coastal and South India (1543-1573) : Between Mission and Empire /
:
Jesuit missions in coastal and South India were among the first foundations of the Society of Jesus in the world. They represented models of apostolic action imitated, debated and reformulated in other geographical locations worldwide. This book traces the history of the Jesuit missionary beginning and end in the early modern period, and how they navigated, between European colonial maneuvers, and local conversion to Christianity through proselytizing and accommodation. Jesuit missionary efforts were pragmatically divided between disciplining Portuguese and later on French colonial communities, and attracting converts living among regional polities under Muslim and Hindu rulers.
