Biological Warfare Plan in the 17Th Century—The Siege of Candia, 1648–1669 Eleni Thalassinou, Costas Tsiamis, Effie Poulakou-Rebelakou, Angelos Hatzakis

Girolamo Donà, umanista e uomo di stato I dispacci che qui si pubblicano sono opera di Girolamo Donà, no- bile veneziano, figura di rilievo nella vita politica e culturale del suo tempo. Nacque a Venezia nel 1456, figlio di Antonio e di Lucia Balbi; il padre, uomo politico e diplomatico, era figlio di Andrea e di Camil- la Foscari, figlia del doge Francesco. Il suo ramo è detto « dalle rose », per le tre rose che figurano nell’arma. Si laureò in artibus a Padova nel 1478; come di regola per i patrizi dottori, fu impiegato senza posa dalla Repubblica in missioni diplomatiche all’estero e nel governo di città e terre appartenenti al dominio veneto; tra un incarico e l’altro fe- ce parte degli organi centrali dello stato in posizioni adeguate alla sua cultura e alla sua conoscenza del mondo. -
Caterina Corner in Venetian History and Iconography Holly Hurlburt
Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal 2009, vol. 4 Body of Empire: Caterina Corner in Venetian History and Iconography Holly Hurlburt n 1578, a committee of government officials and monk and historian IGirolamo Bardi planned a program of redecoration for the Sala del Maggior Consiglio (Great Council Hall) and the adjoining Scrutinio, among the largest and most important rooms in the Venetian Doge’s Palace. Completed, the schema would recount Venetian history in terms of its international stature, its victories, and particularly its conquests; by the sixteenth century Venice had created a sizable maritime empire that stretched across the eastern Mediterranean, to which it added considerable holdings on the Italian mainland.1 Yet what many Venetians regarded as the jewel of its empire, the island of Cyprus, was calamitously lost to the Ottoman Turks in 1571, three years before the first of two fires that would necessitate the redecoration of these civic spaces.2 Anxiety about such a loss, fear of future threats, concern for Venice’s place in evolving geopolitics, and nostalgia for the past prompted the creation of this triumphant pro- gram, which featured thirty-five historical scenes on the walls surmounted by a chronological series of ducal portraits. Complementing these were twenty-one large narratives on the ceiling, flanked by smaller depictions of the city’s feats spanning the previous seven hundred years. The program culminated in the Maggior Consiglio, with Tintoretto’s massive Paradise on one wall and, on the ceiling, three depictions of allegorical Venice in triumph by Tintoretto, Veronese, and Palma il Giovane. These rooms, a center of republican authority, became a showcase for the skills of these and other artists, whose history paintings in particular underscore the deeds of men: clothed, in armor, partially nude, frontal and foreshortened, 61 62 EMWJ 2009, vol. -

Reinhold C. Mueller
Reinhold C. Mueller Aspects of Venetian Sovereignty in Medieval and Renaissance Dalmatia [A stampa in Quattrocento Adriatico , Fifteenth Century Art of the Adriatic Rim , Papers from a colloquium, Florence, 1994, edited by Charles Dempsey (Villa Spelman Colloquia Series, 5), Bologna, Nuova Alfa Editoriale, 1996, pp. 29-56 – Distribuito in formato digitale da “Reti Medievali”] The reader is forewarned that this paper, which maintains the character of the original oral presentation, makes no attempt at covering completely such a vast subject, on which there is an extensive bibliography - much of it in Serbo-Croatian, a language I do not know. My intent is simply to offer for discussion some little-exploited historical materials on well-known themes that exemplify contacts between the two coasts of the Adriatic Sea, especially - but not only - during the Quattrocento. Following an overview of the history of Venetian sovereignty in that part of the Stato da mar, attention will turn to aspects of politics and society, that is, to the political, financial and monetary administration of the subject territories and to the movement of people and peoples across the Adriatic. I. AN OVERVIEW OF HISTORY AND MYTH Venetian efforts at domination of the eastern Adriatic can be said to have begun in the year 1000, with the naval expedition commanded personally by doge Pietro II Orseolo, which put an end to the activity of pirates installed at the mouth of the Narenta River and first avowed control over the Adriatic as the “Gulf of Venice.” Lordship over the Adriatic was central to Venetian historiography and mythology over the centuries: from the supposed papal grant of lordship at the peace of 1177 with Barbarossa and the ceremony each Ascension day of the doge wedding the sea, to invocations of Jove and Neptune - all depicted as part of a political program in the redecoration of the Ducal Palace after the fire of 1577 As late as the eighteenth century, Tiepolo still represented Neptune and the sea as the source of Venice’s wealth, when that was already history. -

List of Figures………………………………………………………………..93 VIII. Works Cited…………………………………………………...……………104 3 I. Introduction In the Treasury of San Marco, there is an object of three parts (Figure 1). Its largest section piece of transparent crystal, carved into the shape of a grotto. Inside this temple is a metal figurine of Mary, her hands outstretched. At the bottom, the crystal grotto is fixed to a Byzantine crown decorated with enamels. Each part originated from a dramatically different time and place. The crystal was either carved in Imperial Rome prior to the fourth century or in 9th or 10th century Cairo at the time of the Fatimid dynasty. The figure of Mary is from thirteenth century Venice, and the votive crown is Byzantine, made by craftsmen in the 8th or 9th century. The object resembles a Frankenstein’s monster of a sculpture, an amalgamation of pieces fused together that were meant to used apart. But to call it a Frankenstein would be to suggest that the object’s parts are wildly mismatched and clumsily sewn together, and is to dismiss the beauty of the crystal grotto, for each of its individual components is finely made: the crystal is intricately carved, the figure of Mary elegant, and the crown vivid and colorful. -

Transnational, national, and local perspectives on Venice and Venetia within the ʻmultinationalʼ empire The so-called seconda dominazione austriaca of Venice and Venetia lasted from 1814 to 1866, punctuated only by the revolutionary parenthesis of 1848–9. This half century of rule from Vienna has traditionally been seen as a period of exploitative and insensitive government backed by heavy- handed policing, restrictive censorship, and ultimately dependent on the presence of regiments of white-coated Croat and Austrian troops.
