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 9 (Volume 3 of the
third series), published in 1855, was compiled by Vincenzo Lazari
(1823-64), director of the Correr Museum, and includes a history of
the baili (permanent Venetian ambassadors in Istanbul) as well as
the reports they submitted throughout the sixteenth century.
