Zheng He's maritime voyages (1405-1433) and China's relations with the Indian Ocean world
a multilingual bibliography
by Liu, Ying (Librarian), Chen, Zhongping (Professor of history), and Gregory Blue
Admiral Zheng He commanded the fifteenth-century world’s largest fleet. In the course of seven voyages made between 1405 and 1433, his massive ships visited over thirty present-day countries in Asia and Africa. Those voyages reflected and reinforced the development of complex networks of trade, migration, cultural exchange, and political interactions between China and the Indian Ocean world.
This bibliography lists sources in thirteen languages, including both scholarly studies and popular works like Gavin Menzies’s controversial bestsellers claiming the Chinese sailed around the world before Columbus. Relevant translations, transliterations and annotations are provided to aid the reader.

Book Details
Edition Notes
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This bibliography collects publications in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Indonesian, Italian, Malay, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Thai languages, a total of thirteen languages.
For publications in roman-alphabet languages, such as English, French, German, Indonesian, Malay, Portuguese, and Spanish, titles are listed in the original languages, and English translations are provided when necessary.
For publications in the Chinese and Japanese languages, we have translated the titles and transliterated the names of authors and editors as well as the publisher names and other information. The original scripts are kept in the citations to help users to identify and search for the sources. Original translations or transliterations of Chinese and Japanese journal titles are kept and presented in round brackets. Because italicizing Chinese and Japanese scripts can negatively affect readability, original book and journal titles in these scripts are not italicized as per MLA style. Instead we have italicized the English translations of these titles inside round brackets.
For publications in other non-roman-alphabet languages such as Arabic, Russian and Thai, the titles are romanized but the original scripts are not given. English translations of the titles and of necessary content notes are, however, provided.
