Produktbeschreibung
Throughout the Middle Ages and all over Europe and the Mediterranean, Venetian merchants travelled throughout the known world in search of lucrative business opportunities and trading in anything that could be bought and sold. Envied by its neighbours, Venice came up against powerful enemies, both Christian and Muslim, and ultimately found itself between the interests of Spanish, Austrian and Turkish ambitions. This book combines 13 chapters previously written by the author throughout his career, discussing the history of Venice throughout this period. It covers topics such as maritime trade, trade routes from Egypt to England and how the Venetians exploited their overseas colonies. It also analyses the salt trade, public monopolies, the use of credit and investment. Venice Between Magnificence and Misery will appeal to students and scholars alike interested in the history of Venice throughout the Middle Ages, as well as the history of maritime trade and business.
