Savoi Mahadevo Temple

In the small village of Savoi in eastern Ponda are the laterite remains of what is said to have been a medieval Mahadevo temple destroyed by the Portuguese. A number of scattered circular boulders testify to the importance of the structure that was built here. There is a small shrine with a Shiva lingham and what appears to be a more primitive one outside which may have been part of the original temple complex. A large number of laterite blocks have been used to build an enclosure around the temple site which is still in use today.

The First Global War: The Dutch versus Iberia in Asia, Africa and the New World 1590-1609

Article abstract: Are the beginnings of the Dutch expansion outside Europe to be viewed as war or commerce? In assessing the damage done by the Dutch to the various Iberian trade circuits in Asia and the Atlantic during the period between 1585 and 1609, this contribution shows that the Dutch actions against Spain and Portugal had virtually no effect. The Dutch - as well as the other Northwest European powers - could not seriously harm the Iberian expansion system. After 1620 this situation changed, but it remains remarkable that between 1500 and 1800 two expansion systems continued to co-exist in Asia, Africa and the New World. http://www.brown.ed/Departments/Portuguese_Brazilian_Studies/ejph/

The Role of Interpreters, or Linguas, in the Portuguese Empire during the 16th Century

This article analyses the different categories of interpreters (lingoas), the forms of their recruitment and the strategies of their use in the Portuguese Empire in Asia in the first half of the sixteenth century. The interpreters were as good as adventurers, convicts and natives, captives, renegades and converted slaves recruited during expeditions and military operations. Besides the social-economical status of these interpreters the article highlights the case of the territory of Macao where the necessity to answer to imperial bureaucracy determines the creation of a corps of interpreters (jurubaças) and perfectly organised family dynasties of "lingoas".
