This book is a major contribution to the study of the encounter between Europeans and non-Europeans in the early modern period and to a neglected aspect of the cultural transformation of Europe throughout the Renaissance. Focusing on European travelers in India and their analysis of Hindu society, politics and religion, it also offers a detailed and systematic study of the variety of travel narratives describing South India from the thirteenth to the seventeenth centuries. In addition, the book proposes a novel approach to the study of European attitudes toward non-Europeans.

Table of contents:

  1. The search for India: the empire of Vijayanagara through European eyes

  2. Marco Polo’s India and the Latin Christian tradition

  3. Establishing lay science: the merchant and the humanist

  4. The Portuguese and Vijayanagara: politics, religion and classification

  5. The practice of ethnography: Indian customs and castes

  6. The social and political order: Vijayanagara decoded

  7. The historical dimension: from native traditions to European orientalism

  8. The missionary discovery of South Indian religion: opening the doors of idolatry

  9. From humanism to scepticism: the independent traveller in the seventeenth century
