Contents

It will be noticed that I have used few footnotes, quoting sources only to substantiate some new piece of information, or to support opinions which may seem contentious. A bibliographical note is given at the end of each section of the book. These notes make no claim to be comprehensive, but describe the literature I have found most useful, the place of publication being London unless otherwise stated. The notes vary in scope according to whether a subject has received much attention from scholars (as have the Iberian empires) or not (as is the case with Genoa). The journals mentioned are those which regularly carry materials of relevance. Many others do so occasionally, and of course the periodicals listed in one section are frequently of value for another.

There are a number of books which form admirable introductions to the subject as a whole, or large aspects of it. Amongst them are: Ralph Davis, The Rise of the Atlantic Economies (1973); K.G. Davies, The North Atlantic World in the Seventeenth Century (Minneapolis, 1974); Charles Wilson, The Transformation of Europe, 15581648 (1976); Jan de Vries, The Economy of Europe in an Age of Crisis, 16001750 (Cambridge, 1976); C.R. Boxer, The Church Militant in Iberian Expansion, 14401770 (Baltimore, 1978). For the torrential flow of new specialist books and articles the reader is referred to the various guides listed in the bibliographical notes already mentioned. There is, however, a useful Annual Bulletin of Historical Literature
