Further particulars may be obtained from the Secretary to the Delmas Foundation’s Advisory Committee, Professor Julian Gardner, 44, Foundry House, Eagle Works, Walton Well Road, Oxford OX2 6AQ UK (telephone 01865 511 499 e- mail [email protected]).

This will make available documentary material of ex- traordinary importance for historic research. The Consiglio dei Rogati o dei Pregadi (Consilium Rogatorum), later the Senate, was possibly set up in 1229-1230 as an organ of support to the Great Council. Its function soon moved from that of preliminary inquiry and advice on matters of trade and navigation to decision-making, eventually in every aspect of economic financial and administrative matters and of internal and external policy. Over the years the Consiglio dei Rogati became the most important of the Venetian councils, at the heart of the institutional order. The deliberations (or parti), valid as law, were recorded from the end of the thirteenth century, and have been conserved from register XV onward. The series is published under the patronage of the Senato della Repubblica Italiana and directed by: Maria Francesca Tiepolo, Dieter Girgensohn and Gherardo Ortalli.
