Singapore has been portrayed as all but forgotten or neglected before the British East India Company established a trading station there in 1819. This volume challenges this understanding by examining the information about Singapore, Johor, and the wider region of the Singapore and Melaka straits found in European publications between circa 1500 and 1819. First published in the Journal of the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (IMBRAS) in December 2021 and June 2022.
