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.

If you like Venice history, this is an interesting diary of its day-to-day life. The Inquisition facing a painter and arguing about a specifical paiting; sex, moral and prostitution in Venice; life in monasteries; some budgets of the City, all the subjects written by people of that time; the exuberance of naval building; finance and Jews in Venice. Well, don't miss this superb Documentary.

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.
