    Consistency and rupture in punishments in Crete under the Venetian rule (13th - 17th century)∗ Romina N. Tsakiri∗∗ Venice tried to exercise its power in an absolute way in the political government of its dominions, where the public interest and the interests of the state took priority. Its wish to create a uniformity in its dominions was manifested in the public law and mainly in penal law. The penal law of the dominant city, where the provisions of Doge Jacopo Tiepolo from 1242 (the so called statuti commune Veneciarum) were prominent, with clarifications, corrections and additions over the centuries, was established slowly but steadily as the basic law in the function of justice of the subjugated cities. There followed a verdict “by analogy” with other similar cases (analogia), or by custom (i.e. every memory of written or common law) (consuetudine) and the discretion and will of the judge (arbitrium). In its effort to gradually impose the Venetian law, the decision of Venice to grant a certain degree of autonomy to its dominions and respect the local law, where it existed, and the customs of the dominions is indisputable. However, Venice always maintained the right to interfere and amend the law according to the requests of the subjects and, primarily, according to its interests. Besides, the authorities of Venice often issued laws, either applicable to all the dominions or individually for each dominion (often by the local Venetian administration), according to a given situation. Therefore, these laws could often be repealed or adapted to the needs of the metropolis and applied for the security and stability of the state and defending the financial interests of the Venetian state and the nobility (Cessi 1938.

TO PETER SOMMER TR AVELS Writing this in autumn 2020, it is hard to know quite where to begin. I usually review the season just gone, the new tours that we ran, the preparatory recces we made, the new tours we are unveiling for the next year, the feedback we have received and our exciting plans for the future. However, as you well know, this year has been unlike any other in our collective memory. Our exciting plans for 2020 were thrown into disarray, just like many of yours. We were so disappointed that so many of you were unable to travel with us in 2020. Our greatest pleasure is to share the destinations we have grown to love so deeply with you our wonderful guests. I had the pleasure and privilege of speaking with many of you personally during the 2020 season. I was warmed and touched by your support, your understanding, your patience, and your generosity. All of us here at PST are extremely grateful and heartened by your enthusiasm and eagerness to travel with us when it becomes possible. PST is a small, flexible, and dynamic company. We have weathered countless downturns during the many years we have been operating. Elin, my wife, and I have always reinvested in the business with long term goals and are very used to surviving all manner of curve balls, although COVID-19 is certainly the biggest we have yet faced.
