Abstract

In New Spain and the rest of the Spanish Empire, only a privileged elite could access Chinesesilk, which began to be traded in the Empire after the opening of the Manila Galleon routein 1571. The high price of Chinese silk partly explained such elitist consumption of the Asiantextile. Using sources only recently made available to the public, this paper analyses the degreeof price dispersion of Chinese silk across the Spanish Empire and, taking the Manila Galleonroute as a reference, some of the main elements that determined the high transport cost andprice of Chinese silk in the Empire before the 18th century, which is to say before long-distancetransport costs fell and the first signs of market convergence manifested in the world.
中国丝绸在西班牙帝国的运输成本和价格。新西班牙(约1571-1650年)
在新西班牙和西班牙帝国的其他地方,只有特权精英才能接触到中国丝绸,自1571年马尼拉大帆船航线开通后,中国丝绸开始在帝国内交易。中国丝绸的高价格部分解释了这种亚洲纺织品的精英消费。本文利用最近才公开的资料,分析了中国丝绸在整个西班牙帝国的价格分散程度,并以马尼拉帆船航线为参考,分析了决定18世纪之前(即长途运输成本下降和市场趋同迹象在世界上首次出现之前)中国丝绸在西班牙帝国的高运输成本和高价格的一些主要因素。
