Summary:

"During the "thick globalism" of the early modern world, evidence of religious contact, between conflict and commerce, has been overlooked in national narratives. In Palimpsests of Religious Encounter in Asia, 1500-1800, a cross-disciplinary group of international experts delve into on-site artefacts and archives to consider the geographical imagination, the transfer of knowledge, the politics of interreligious dialogue, the practice of reception, and the cyclical flow of meaning across transcultural things. Illustrations of objects rarely available to the public demonstrate how religious belief can provide a shared methodological platform for the global turn of art history"-- Provided by publisher.
