Abstract:During the early modern period in Europe, educated circles drew on dictionaries, lexicons, encyclopaedias, grammars, geographies, and cosmographies to understand the world in which they lived. These compendia built on information found in earlier publications of the same sort, supplemented by new details provided by traders and travellers with first-hand knowledge of different parts of the world. This article examines knowledge about Singapore and the Straits region circulating in Europe between circa 1511 and 1819, focusing on compendia entries touching on the Straits region, especially Singapore, Melaka, Johor, and Bintan. It traces the evolution of compendium knowledge as it moves through cycles of accumulation, transformation, and de-contextualization.

In this epic work, Heather Sutherland brings decades of scholarship to bear on her examination of three centuries of trade on the periphery of Asia. Many of the communities involved were virtually unknown to the rest of the world, yet the sea and forest products, and other goods they provided were prized commodities. The eastern archipelagos of Sutherland’s title are the island chains spreading from Sulu and Mindanao in the north, Bali in the southwest, New Guinea in the southeast, and the islands in between. Most of these places lie to the east of the ‘Indianised’ states of Southeast Asia but were linked to them by trade from an early date. In turn, this connected the eastern archipelagos to the trade routes between the South China Sea and the Bay of Bengal, two of the most important ‘seaways’ of the title. ‘Gatekeepers’ feature less prominently in the narrative, although it is stated that the term refers to those who skimmed benefits from trade through provision of safe exchange sites, which was important in the early period (p. 441). That definition, however, would appear applicable also to various entrepots that operated throughout the period of Sutherland’s study, from the Melaka sultanate to British Singapore. Seaways and Gatekeepers builds on the pioneering work on early Southeast Asian trade by authors such as O. W. Wolters1 and Anthony Reid.2 Sutherland also references more recent regional histories, such as Hans Hägerdal’s major study of early colonial Timor.3 These examples are, however, the tip of the iceberg, as the seventy-five-page bibliography testifies. In this respect, I applaud the use of footnotes rather than endnotes or some other device, as this provides maximum ease for identifying sources used for any passage. The scholarship required to assemble this array of sources is formidable, but it is the seeming ease with which Sutherland utilises them to afford the reader a better understanding of the oftencomplex eastern archipelagos trading networks that is truly impressive. Many of the peoples and places Sutherland refers to have not found their way into most
在这部史诗般的作品中，希瑟·萨瑟兰（Heather Sutherland）将数十年的学术成果带到了她对亚洲外围三个世纪贸易的考察中。许多参与其中的社区几乎不为世界其他地区所知，但他们提供的海洋和森林产品以及其他商品都是珍贵的商品。萨瑟兰所称的东部群岛是从北部的苏禄岛和棉兰老岛、西南部的巴厘岛、东南部的新几内亚岛以及介于两者之间的岛屿延伸而来的岛链。这些地方大多位于东南亚“印度化”国家的东部，但从早期起就通过贸易与之相连。反过来，这将东部群岛与南中国海和孟加拉湾之间的贸易路线连接起来，孟加拉湾是该标题中最重要的两条“航道”尽管有人指出，“守门人”一词指的是那些通过提供安全的交换场所从贸易中获取利益的人，而这在早期很重要（第441页），但在叙事中，这一点并不突出。然而，这一定义似乎也适用于萨瑟兰研究期间经营的各种转口店，从马六甲苏丹国到英属新加坡。Seaways and Gatekeepers建立在O.W.Wolters1和Anthony Reid等作家对早期东南亚贸易的开创性工作的基础上。2 Sutherland还引用了更近的地区历史，如Hans Hägerdal对早期殖民地帝汶的主要研究。3然而，正如75页的参考书目所证明的那样，这些例子只是冰山一角。在这方面，我赞成使用脚注而不是尾注或其他手段，因为这为识别任何段落的来源提供了最大的便利。收集这一系列来源所需的学术研究是令人敬畏的，但真正令人印象深刻的是，萨瑟兰似乎很容易利用这些来源，让读者更好地了解往往复杂的东部群岛贸易网络。萨瑟兰提到的许多民族和地方还没有进入大多数
