Bahl, Christopher D., Mobile Manuscripts: Arabic Learning Across the Early Modern Western Indian Ocean. (Cambridge Oceanic Histories) 350 pp. 2024:11 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <731-806>

In this essential new work, Christopher D. Bahl departs from the established historiography on trade, shipping and pilgrimage to argue for the emergence of Arabic learning as a crucial form of transoceanic mobility from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries. From Egypt to the Hijaz, Yemen and further on to Gujarat and the Deccan, networks of manuscript circulation created shared social and cultural spaces across the early modern western Indian Ocean, in which South Asia was a key node of connection. Largely unstudied Arabic manuscripts from collections in ten different archives offer a new source-base to explore the region as a hub of Arabic scholarly culture, while marginalia and notes provide an empirical treasure trove for the study of social spaces and cultural practices. This is the first book to trace these truly transoceanic encounters between scholars, sultans, scribes, readers, and librarians.

This book examines Indo-Pacific issues from a Southeast Asian perspective and goes beyond discourses such as ASEAN-China or ASEAN-US-China. It analyses the new regional balances in the ASEAN and Indo-Pacific region at the diplomatic, strategic and economic levels while taking into account the ongoing uncertainty of the international order, reshaped by the post Covid-19 crisis and characterized by the increasingly adversarial China-US relations, the sensitive context of South China Sea and Taiwan crisis and the impact of the war between Russia and Ukraine. It highlights Indo-Pacific not only from a geostrategic angle but an economic one, considering ASEAN amidst competing connectivity strategies and integration challenges.The volume offers an inclusive outlook capturing diversity and convergence of strategies in a key region where the stage of tomorrow's global order will be decided. It will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of politics and international relations and Area Studies, especially Southeast Asian Studies and Indo-Pacific Studies.
