Purchase options and add-ons

During the Renaissance, there were two centres of art, culture and mercantile power in Italy: Florence, and Venice. This is a sourcebook of primary materials, almost none previously available in English, for the history of the city-state of Venice. The time period covers the apogee of Venetian power and reputation to the beginnings of its decline in the 1630s. Sources used include diaries, chronicles, Inquisitorial records, literature, legislation, and contemporary descriptions, and are organized in sections by theme and accompanied by brief introductions.

Originally published by Basil Blackwell, 1992.

I needed this book for my thesis over sumptuary laws but was unable to find it in the university library. Out of desperation, I bought it online and paid for expedited shipping. It arrived in perfect condition and a day earlier than expected! Very detailed and thorough if you are in a Renaissance course and need primary sources!

The text is prefect for those interested in reading primary Venetian Renaissance documents. Though it does not provide a lot of sources in each section, it documents sources not easily available elsewhere.

Grace à ces nombreux documents judicieusement choisis on pénètre à l'intérieur même du système vénitien.
