Book Review: Portugal und das Heilige Römische Reich (16.-18. Jahrhundert). Portugale e o Sacro Império (séculos XVI-XVIII)

The thrust of this conference, organised by the Center for Overseas History in Lisbon (CHAM), the Instituto Camões of the University of Hamburg and the Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), was to focus on the exchange of the Hanseatic city of Hamburg with Portugal during the Age of Discoveries. The papers published here, in German or Portuguese, with resumés at the end of each essay in the other language, are distributed among four thematic sections: political relations, communication within the Portuguese empire, Portugal and Hamburg, and artistic ties. [...]lacking is a discussion of the pioneering work of such outstanding historians as Josef Wicki, Hermann Fiedler, Hans Flascher and Hermann Kellenbenz, the latter two founding members of the research group, Portugiesische Forschungen der Görres-Gesellschaft (http://www.aschendorff-buchverlag.de/shop/_media/PORT_FOR.PDF).
