摘要

赠送礼物的做法在撒哈拉以南地区的大使馆随处可见。礼物是统治者之间政治对话的物质表现。它们的质量和数量是统治者之间关系的良好晴雨表。仔细分析16世纪至17世纪博尔诺统治者(今尼日利亚)发送或接收的礼物,可以发现博尔诺总理府的规范和习俗体系。它们的物质价值也引发了它们的经济层面以及如何回收的问题。通过关注现代早期的黎波里和博尔诺之间的大使馆,本文的目的是证明这些礼物是正常外交实践的一部分。除了礼物本身所传达的信息外,博尔诺苏丹还将礼物交换纳入更广泛的跨撒哈拉贸易,从而将经济和政治利益融合在一起。

“Ismaël pria Osman de luy donner quelques Chrestiens”: Gift Exchanges and Economic Reciprocity in trans-Saharan Diplomacy (Sixteenth–Seventeenth Centuries)
The practice of gift-giving was omnipresent in trans-Saharan embassies. Gifts were the material expression of the political dialogue between rulers. Their quality and quantity was a good barometer of relations between rulers. A close analysis of the gifts sent or received by the Borno rulers (present-day Nigeria) between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries reveals a system of norms and customs on the part of the Borno chancellery. Their material value also raises the question of their economic dimension and how they were recycled. By focusing on the embassies between Tripoli and Borno in the early modern period, the aim of this article is to demonstrate that the gifts were a part of a normalized practice of diplomacy. Beyond the message carried by the gifts themselves, the Borno sultans mixed economic and political interests by integrating the exchanges of gifts into the wider trans-Saharan trade.
