Books
Book: Landeiro: The King of the Portuguese from Macao – Macao Foundation, forthcoming ,
Macau Foundation, Macau, 2009.
The captain Bartolomeu Vaz de Landeiro travelled to India on the Armada of 1559, on the ship Frol del
Mar: Flower of the Sea, led by Pero Vaz de Serqueira. Several years after arriving in Goa he travelled
to Macao. It is, by the way, in Macao, that he built his life and fortune and it is also from Macao that
Bartolomeu Landeiro began trading with India, Timor, Siam, Japan, the Philippines, or Cambodia. I
would like to point out that the main objective of this book has been to study the particularities of the
European presence in Macao and reconstruct the inter-cultural exchange that existed between Macao
and other Asian centers of commerce. This task is particularly important because the search to
recompose the History of Macao, through a meticulous study of the life of Captain Bartolomeu
Landeiro, will consequently match the History of Macao and his influence on the seas of China, Taiwan,
the Far-East of Japan, the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
Book: Macao: Trading Law in the 16th and 17th century (1557-1614) forthcoming, ICM,
Macau, 2009.
This monograph is a result of my research for the ICM research grant.
th
th
The Portuguese traders had an important role in Asian Commerce in the 16 and 17 centuries,
since they were the commercial intermediary between China and Japan. Macau, an important
European base in China, provided the access to the fair of Canton where the Portuguese traders
acquired the silks and exchanged Japanese silver. In this book I studied this precious metal that,
besides livening up the Chinese local economy, financed the movement of pirates, European
traders, soldiers and missionaries all over the Far-East Sea.
Book: The Portuguese and Japan (16th and 17th centuries), University of Tokyo, CEPESA,
Lisbon, 2005.
This is a proceeding of an international conference held in Lisbon, 2005. In this book we have
studied the life of the Portuguese Jew Duarte Gomes Solis and we have analysed the book
Discursos sobre los Comercios de las Índias, published in 1622. It is known that Solis was born
in Lisbon between 1561 and 1562. The gap between that date and 1585, year of his departure to
India, remains without significant information. Succeeding in getting to India in 1586, Solis’s trade
skills are immediately noticed by the ruling elite. Two years later, Solis is assistant to the
Governor D. Manuel de Sousa Coutinho, helping him to implement economic policies in the State
of India. In 1591 D. Matias de Albuquerque is appointed the new Governor of the Portuguese
State of India (Estado da India) and Solis’s fate changes. He is accused of fraud, his wealth
confiscated and he is arrested and embarks to Portugal aboard the ship Madre de Deus.The
relevance of this study is a new critical approach concerning innumerable aspects neglected for
the western historians about the cultural relations between the Europeans and the Japanese in
the XVIth and XVIIth centuries. We wanted, in a similar way, to confer a new boarding to the
Religious, Commercial and Political aspects.
