This two-volume work contains documents from the Venetian state
archives from the period 1300-1454. They refer to Venice's dealings
with her own empire across the eastern Mediterranean and with
foreign powers, including Turkish sultans and Byzantine emperors.
At that time, Venetian power was at its zenith (the doges boasted
of being rulers of 'one-quarter and one-half of a quarter of the
whole world'), but there were dangers to Venetian naval and
mercantile supremacy from the continuous advance of the Ottoman
Turks across the territory formerly ruled from Constantinople.
Volume 1, published in 1880, covers the period 1300-50. It was
edited by the German scholar G. M. Thomas (1817-87), who in the
1850s had published with Gottlieb Tafel on Venice's earlier
relations with Byzantium. Volume 2, prepared for the press after
Thomas' death by Riccardo Predelli (1842-1909) and published in
1899, contains documents from 1351 to 1454.
