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, edited by the German scholar G. M. Thomas (1817-87) and
published in 1880, covers the period 1300-50. The first document,
from 1301, refers to the gathering of troops for military action
against Constantinople, while the last is a message from Pope
Clement VI begging the doge to join a union against the Turks.
