The Byzantine-Ottoman Transition in Venetian Chronicles / La transizione bizantino-ottomana nelle cronache veneziane

The Byzantine-Ottoman Transition in Venetian Chronicles / La transizione bizantino-ottomana nelle cronache veneziane

Autore: Autori Vari

Numero di pagine: 328

During the 14th and 15th centuries the Ottoman Empire emerged as the new hegemonial power in the Romania, i.e. the territories that once had formed the core of Byzantium. As a major economic and political agent in this area, Venice and the Venetian elite were thoroughly affected by this transition, and consequently Venetian documents have often been used to elucidate the history of the late Byzantine and early Ottoman epoch. Yet, the repercussion of this change in the numerous works of late medieval Venetian historiography, particularly in the often anonymous chronicles, still awaits systematic exploration. Against this background, the present collection of papers, that goes back to an international workshop held in 2014, combines both, methodological reflections on the characteristics of the Venetian cronachistica and the use of the information it contains, and a number of individual case-studies reflecting crucial stages of the Byzantine-Ottoman transition. Nel XIV e XV secolo, l’Impero Ottomano si andò affermando come nuova potenza egemoniale nella regione che un tempo era stata il nucleo di Bisanzio. Questa transizione interessò anche Venezia e l’élite veneziana in...

Autore: Stella Mary Newton

Numero di pagine: 228

Tracing the development of Venetian fashion and their appearance in contemporary works of art, this book discusses the unique attitude of the Venetian Republic to the dress of its patricians, its citizens and its women, as well as to the dress of foreigners. It relies extensively on the views of the Senate on dress, and considers Venice's contempt for the current fashions in the rest of Italy. There is also a discussion of the position of the tailors of Venice and their methods of work as well as an invaluable appendix detailing the textiles then in use at the time.This book is essential to students and teachers of the history of art, the history of dress and the theatre as well as to those interested in Venetian social life during the period covered, and in Italian renaissance studies.

"The Venetians" by M. E. Braddon invites readers into the enchanting world of Venice, weaving a rich tapestry of mystery and romance. In the titular story, "The Venetians," set against the vibrant backdrop of Venice during the Carnival season, readers are whisked away on a journey of intrigue and secret desires. The narrative follows Mr. Vansittart, a young Englishman ensnared by the city's allure and the enigmatic Fiordelisa. As the golden haze of Shrove Tuesday envelops the city, gondolas glide along the Grand Canal, and the air is filled with laughter, Vansittart's path crosses with a masked lady in black velvet and her companion, steering him into a series of unexpected encounters. The lively opera houses and crowded streets of Venice become the stage for a dance between chance meetings and fleeting pleasures. Through this captivating story, M. E. Braddon explores the timeless charm of Venice, juxtaposed with modern desires, where secrets run as deep as the city's iconic waterways. Themes of romance, adventure, and the enduring allure of Venice are interwoven, offering a glimpse into the human heart's capacity for folly and fascination. This anthology captures the essence of...

Venetian Views, Venetian Blinds

Numero di pagine: 263

Half a millennium of English and American fantasies of Venice: this collection of essays by leading critics in the field explores the continued and continuing fascination of travellers, writers, artists, theatre workers and film makers with the amphibious and ambiguous city in the lagoon. There is hardly another place in Europe that has become so much of a palimpsest, inscribed with the fantasies, the dreams and nightmares of generations of foreigners, and this turns Venetian Views, Venetian Blinds into a particularly pertinent case study of the ways cultural difference within Europe is experienced, enacted and constructed. The essays range across five centuries - from the Renaissance to our postmodern present, from Shakespeare and his contemporary Coryate to recent novels, detective fiction and films - and, in contrast to previous studies focussing on the Grand Tour, they emphasise more recent developments and how they continue or disrupt traditional ways of perceiving - or being blind to! - Venice.
