| description | The article presents a bilingual **Glossary** (Portuguese/English) integrated into the dossier "**European Encounters and Missed Encounters in the South China Sea** (II)", dedicated to the history of the Luso-Dutch system in the Asian context. Its central contribution lies in **compiling, standardizing, and clarifying** toponymic names, functional ethnonyms, offices, vessels, and recurring textual references found in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century sources (e.g., ports, dynasties, sultanates, and cartographic designations). Methodologically, the text operates as a mediating tool between the language of chronicles, cartographies, and historical documents, on the one hand, and contemporary academic usage, on the other: it identifies equivalences (e.g., alternative forms and transliterations), defines technical-institutional terms, and provides approximate locations, while also indicating semantic meanings where relevant (such as descriptive categories of people and types of weapons). As a result, the glossary facilitates the **cross-interpretation** of heterogeneous materials—particularly those pertaining to maritime expansion and political confrontations in southern China and Southeast Asia—thereby reducing terminological ambiguities. Thus, the article implicitly concludes that lexical densification and conceptual normalization are indispensable conditions for consistent historical analyses of European encounters in the Asian maritime space. |
