Hardcover. Zustand: New. "In Encounters on the Opposite Coast Markus Vink provides a narrative of the first half century of cross-cultural interaction between the Dutch East India Company (VOC), one of the great northern European char­tered companies, and Madurai, one of the great southern Nayakas and successor-states of the Vijayanagara empire, in southeast India (c. 1645-1690).
