Based in New Julfa, Isfahan, in what is now Iran, these merchants operated a network of commercial settlements that stretched from London and Amsterdam to Manila and Acapulco. The New Julfan Armenians were the only Eurasian community that was able to operate simultaneously and successfully in all the major empires of the early modern world-both land-based Asian empires and the emerging sea-borne empires-astonishingly without the benefits of an imperial network and state that accompanied and facilitated European mercantile expansion during the same period. This book brings to light for the first time the trans-imperial cosmopolitan world of the New Julfans. Among other topics, it explores the effects of long distance trade on the organization of community life, the ethos of trust and cooperation that existed among merchants, and the importance of information networks and communication in the operation of early modern mercantile communities. 410 0$aCalifornia world history library ;$v17. 606 $aMerchants$zArmenia$xHistory$vSources 607 $aJulfa (Is?faha?n, Iran)$xCommerce$xHistory$vSources 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMerchants$xHistory 676 $a382.089/9199205595 700 $aAslanian$b Sebouh David$01012895 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465326403321 996 $aFrom the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean$92353316 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01245nam a2200265 i 4500 001 991002055789707536 005 20020508185723.0 008 960614s1981 it ||| | ita 035 $ab10952639-39ule_inst 035 $aPARLA153708$9ExL 040 $aDip.to scienze storiche$bita 082 0 $a945.5 245 10$aAspetti culturali della societą' italiana nel periodo del papato avignonese :$bTodi, 15-18 ottobre 1978 260 $aTodi :$bpresso l'Accademia tudertina,$c1981 300 $a414 p. ;$c22 cm. 490 0 $aConvegni del Centro di studi sulla spiritualitą medievale / Universitą degli studi di Perugia ;$v19 650 4$aPapato$y1305-1378$xCongressi$y1978 710 2 $aCentro di studi sulla spiritualitą medievale 907 $a.b10952639$b23-02-17$c28-06-02 912 $a991002055789707536 945 $aLE009 MSM VII Coll. 29/19$g1$iLE009-3242304$lle009$o-$pE0.00$q-$rl$s- $t0$u0$v0$w0$x0$y.i11060372$z28-06-02 945 $aLE009 MSM VII Coll. 29/19 bis$g1$iLE009DSG-2626$lle009$o-$pE0.00$q-$rn$so $t0$u0$v0$w0$x0$y.i11060384$z28-06-02 996 $aASPETTI culturali della societa italiana nel periodo del papato avignonese$9612168 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale009$b01-01-96$cm$da $e-$fita$git $h0$i2
