These editions of reports sent back by Venetian ambassadors to the
Great Council of the Republic in the sixteenth century were edited
by Eugenio Alberi (1807-78) and published between 1839 and 1863. As
Alberi notes in his preface, a law of 1296 decreed that all
embassies and legations should submit a written report to the
Council at the end of their mission, and the surviving records
provide an invaluable resource for both political and economic
historians. The fifteen volumes are divided into three series, on
relations with European states outside Italy; with other Italian
states; and with the Ottoman Empire. Volume 12 (Volume 4 of the
first series), published in 1860, contains reports dating from 1492
to 1600, and focuses on Venice's relations with France. It includes
a detailed account by ambassador Giovanni Michiel of the St
Bartholomew's Day Massacre at Paris in 1572.
