THE TIMES.—" Good work in the way of showing students the right manner of approaching the history of a great city. These useful little volumes." THE SCOTSMAN "Those who travel for the sake of culture will be well catered for in Mr. Grant Allen's new series of historical guides. There are few more satisfactory books for a student who wishes to dig out the Paris of the past from the im- mense superincumbent mass of coffee-houses, kiosks, fashionable hotels, and other temples of civilisation, beneath which it is now submerged. Florence is more easily dug up, as you have only to go into the picture galleries, or into the churches or museums, whither Mr. Allen's^ guide accordingly conducts you, and tells you what to look at if you want to understand the art treasures of the city. The books, in a word, explain rather than describe. Such books are wanted nowadays. The more sober- minded among tourists will be grateful to him for the skill with which the new series promises to minister to their needs." GRANT RICHARDS 9 Henrietta St. -
Venetian Foreign Affairs from 1250 to 1381: the Wars with Genoa and Other External Developments

Throughout the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the two powers often clashed in open hostilities. This antagonism between the cities lasted for ten generations, and has been compared to the earlier rivalry between Rome and Carthage. Like the struggle between the two ancient powers, the Venetian/Gcnoan hatred stemmed from their competitive relationship in maritime trade. Unlike land-based rivals, sea powers cannot be separated by any natural boundary or agree to observe any territorial spheres of influence. Trade with the Levant, a source of great wealth and prosperity for each of the cities, required Venice and Genoa to come into repeated conflict in ports such as Chios, Lajazzo, Acre, and Tyre. -
Th E Early Circulation
T HE E ARLY C IRCULATION of Andrea Dandolo’s Chronica per extensum descripta in the light of the ms. Turin, Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria, J.IV.7 1 By Miika Kuha This article examines the early circulation of the universal chronicle of the doge and prehumanist Andrea Dandolo (1306–1354). The focus of the present study is to give new insights in the transmission of Dandolo’s chronicle – and in general in the Venetian textual culture of the period – by analysing its second oldest manuscript witness, the ms. J. IV. 7 of the Turin National University Library. It will be argued, furthermore, that the Turin copy is closely linked to an early reworking of Dandolo’s chronicle, the Chronica Venetiarum attributed to the Gran Chancellor Benintendi de’ Ravagnani (c. 1318–1365). Both Chronica Venetiarum and the Turin copy reflect the response of contemporary readers to Dandolo’s chronicle as it started to circulate outside the ducal chancellery. Andrea Dandolo’s historical works During the decades after and before the dogeship of Andrea Dandolo (1342– 1354)2, history writing flourished in Venice both in vernacular and in Latin. 1 The research for this article was financed by the project Transmission of Knowledge in the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance (Tralmar, no. 267518, 2013–2017), funded by the Academy of Finland and the University of Jyväskylä. I would like to thank prof. Outi Merisalo (Tralmar, University of Jyväskylä) for good advice and generous help both as regards my research on Venetian historiography and preparing this text for publication. I wish also to thank Dr. -

„Historia per forma di Diaria“ Venezianische Gegenwartschronistik um 1500 Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich – Wilhelms – Universität zu Bonn vorgelegt von Christiane Neerfeld aus Bonn Bonn 2001 Gedruckt mit Genehmigung der Philosophischen Fakultät der Rheinischen-Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn Danksagung Es ist eine schöne Aufgabe, an dieser Stelle all jenen zu danken, ohne die diese Arbeit nicht geschrieben worden wäre und die mir in den letzten Jahren mit In- teresse und Hilfsbereitschaft zur Seite standen. An erster Stelle möchte ich mich für die Unterstützung von Professor Bernd Roeck bedanken, der diese Arbeit an- geregt und betreut hat. Er war es, der meine Begeisterung für die venezianische Geschichte geweckt und mich vor vielen Jahren mit einer der Hauptfiguren die- ses Buches, Marin Sanudo, bekannt gemacht hat. Professor Wolf-Dieter Lange danke ich für Interesse, Ermutigung und Hilfsbereitschaft. Der Gerda Henkel Stiftung in Düsseldorf und dem Deutschen Studienzen- trum in Venedig bin ich für die finanzielle Unterstützung zu großem Dank ver- pflichtet, denn ihre großzügige Förderung hat die Durchführung dieses Projekts sowie die damit verbundenen Recherchen in Venedig möglich gemacht. Im Palazzo Barbarigo della terrazza hatte ich Gelegenheit zu vielen anregen- den Diskussionen mit den Mitstipendiaten, deren Fragen, Kritik und Kommenta- re meine Arbeit bereichert haben. Einige von ihnen sind meine Freunde gewor- den und wissen, daß ich ihnen mehr verdanke als den Hinweis auf Schleichwege zum Rialto oder die „Gebrauchsanweisung“ für die venezianischen Bibliothe- ken. Besonders herzlich danken möchte ich Daniela Bohde, Anja Wolkenhauer, Hedwig Nosbers, Christine Tauber und Daniela Hacke, die nicht nur die mühe- volle Arbeit des Korrekturlesens auf sich genommen haben, sondern auch durch viele wertvolle Anregungen, Hinweise und Ratschläge entscheidend zum Gelin- gen dieser Arbeit beigetragen haben. -

Der Blaue Reiter Und Seine Künstler" Überschneidet 6
F. Regionen und Orte 383 der sich allerdings an vielen Stellen mit ihrem Aufsatz in dem oben erwähnten Ber liner Katalog „Der Blaue Reiter und seine Künstler" überschneidet 6. Mario -Andreas von Lüttichau befaßt sich mit der „1. Ausstellung der Redaktion des ,Blauen Rei ters'" bei Thannhauser, mit ihrer Planungsgeschichte, ihrem Erscheinungsbild und ihrer Wirkung auf das Publikum und kommt zu dem erstaunlichen Fazit, daß es sich eigentlich um ein ganz „unspektakuläres" Ereignis gehandelt habe (S. 315-320). Die beiden letzten Essays schließlichrichten den Blick noch einmal auf das Schicksal der „NKVM" nach dem Weggang Marcs, Kandinskys und ihrer Freunde: Hans Wille analysiert scharfsichtig das Scheitern der Publikation „Das Neue Bild" von Otto Fischer, welche die Vereinigung in ihrem inneren Zusammenhalt hätte stärken und retten sollen, letztlich aber ihr Ende besiegelte, indem sie mit einem konservativen Grundton die aus heutiger Sicht letzten progressiven Mitglieder, Alexej Jawlensky und Marianne von Werefkin, verprellte (S. 321-328); und Karl -Heinz MEIßNER berichtet von der Beteiligung von Vertretern der weiter geschrumpften „NKVM" an Ausstellungen der „Münchner Neuen Secession" nach 1914 (S. 329-331). Dieser Block von neun Beiträgen - großenteils verfaßt von Autoren, die in jün gerer Zeit Forschungsarbeiten zu den betreffenden Einzelfragen vorgelegt haben - ist ungeachtet einiger kleiner Qualitätssprünge insgesamt eindrucksvoll. So facetten reich ist die Geschichte der „NKVM" und ihre Beziehung zum „Blauen Reiter" bis dato noch nicht aufbereitet worden. Leider jedoch nötigen zahlreiche Wiederholun gen des öfteren zur diagonalen Lektüre und trüben den positiven Gesamteindruck nachhaltig.

Long Live the King? Death As a Term Limit on Executives*
Long Live the King? Death as a Term Limit on Executives* Daniel J. Smith† George R. Crowley‡ J. Sebastian Leguizamon§ Abstract Can informal term limits place binding constraints on executives? And, are there conditions under which an electorate would forego formal term limits in favor of informal term limits? Formal term limits face three primary problems: they can be dispensed by powerful executives, they limit electorate discretion on term length, and they artificially shorten an executive’s time horizon. This paper extends the literature on term limits by building a model of informal term limits which overcomes these deficiencies. Our model demonstrates that an electorate could use the death of a lifetime-appointed executive, based on their projected life expectancy, to enforce binding, informal term limits. Informal term limits would enable the electorate to exercise discretion in adjusting tenure lengths when considering the tradeoff between the expected benefits of regime stability, such as experience, and the expected costs of long tenures, including the possibility of tyranny. In addition, this informal term limit would be congruent with an executive’s natural time horizon. Informal term limits would be most advantageous to an electorate fearful of both internal (tyranny) and external (military conquest) threats. A historical case study of ducal elections in late Middle Age and Renaissance Venice provides evidence of an electorate in this circumstance, the patricians of Venice, imposing informal term limits on their executives utilizing the projected life expectancy of ducal candidates at election.

Fare E Scrivere Storia a Venezia. I Dolfin “Dela Nobil Cità De Venetia,” Protagonisti Della Vita Politica E Culturale a Venezia Tra Fine Medioevo E Rinascimento1
Fare e scrivere storia a Venezia. I Dolfin “dela nobil cità de Venetia,” protagonisti della vita politica e culturale a Venezia tra fine Medioevo e Rinascimento1 La famiglia Dolfin Nel qual dì la caxada da cha’ Dolfin et da cha’ Gradenigo tra le altre cosse, come piaxet<e> a Dio, se portò così nobilmente che la mazor parte de li rebelli et traditori fono messi sotto el fil dela spada morti et sconfitti (G. Dolfin 2: 12).2 Narrando la congiura di Baiamonte Tiepolo del 1310, uno degli episodi più tragici nella storia di Venezia, in cui si cercò di sovvertire l’ordine costituito e di deporre il doge (Pietro Gradenigo), il cronista Giorgio Dolfin (1396-1458) sottolinea così il fondamentale impegno dimostrato dalla sua famiglia nella repressione del complotto e nella difesa delle istituzioni veneziane.3 L’attenzione per ciò che riguardava Venezia, la viva partecipazione alla vita cittadina e la fedeltà al governo della Serenissima non costituirono certo delle eccezioni nella famiglia Dolfin e questo articolo si propone di illustrare il prezioso contributo alla vita culturale e politica dato dai suoi membri tra fine Medioevo e Rinascimento. Si tratta del periodo di maggiore splendore per Venezia, quello in cui si afferma come dominatrice del Mediterraneo, tanto da poter distinguere uno “Stato da Terra” ed uno “Stato da Mar,” e dei traffici tra Oriente ed Occidente. È la Venezia che si professa libera sia dall’influenza dell’impero che da quella del papato, con un ordinamento governativo retto su magistrature, i cui componenti appartenevano alle più antiche casate veneziane, che riuscivano a garantire la pace e la stabilità. -
The Bailo in Constantinople: Crisis and Career in Venice's Early
162mhr01.qxd 24/01/2002 08:39 Page 1 The Bailo in Constantinople: Crisis and Career in Venice’s Early Modern Diplomatic Corps ERIC R. DURSTELER During the difficult sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Venice attempted to maintain a precarious balance with its powerful neighbour the Ottoman Empire. The key to this effort was the chief Venetian diplomat in Constantinople, the bailo. The complexities of defending Venice’s position in the Mediterranean required the ablest possible officials. Effective service in this most public of positions could provide significant recognition for men at the heights of the Venetian hierarchy and almost always served as a springboard to more important offices within the Venetian state apparatus. The years from 1453 to 1520 represent one of the most trying eras in the history of the Republic of Venice. During this time, the city and its state were threatened from numerous quarters. Most serious was the advance of the Ottoman sultans, who, in a series of conflicts in 1463–79 and 1499–1503, made increasing inroads into Venice’s eastern Mediterranean empire of islands and port cities, the stato da mar, as well as chipping away at Venetian commercial hegemony in the region. A second threat appeared in the difficult decade of the 1490s with the successful voyages to Calicut of da Gama and Cabral, which threatened to squeeze off the city’s commercial lifeblood, the spice trade. This decade also saw the French descent into Italy, which threatened Venice’s holdings on the mainland (the terraferma state), as well as the Italian balance of power established at Lodi.
