The Carletti book is out (www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067...), and with it my very raunchy article. Here reviewed in the Corriere Fiorentino (Corriere della Sera)! Enjoy (but not too much!).

Knowing the Empire: Early Modern Chinese and Spanish Worlds in Dialogue with @leverpress.bsky.social is now in proofs. The big work is already done. Now we just need to make sure the is are dotted, the ts crossed, and tails pinned to the now-extinct Iberian cebros!

Good morning, bsky folks. It's time to read about old things again. Speculation? Check. Alchemy? Check. Shoot me an email if you'd like to join this workshop with Wenrui Zhao and Vera Keller on February 24th.
