Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Universal Biography, Vol. 2 of 3: Including Scriptural, Classical, and Mythological Memoirs, Together With Accounts of Many Eminent Living Characters The Venetians, in the sharing of the imperial do minions, obtained a full moiety, and Dandolo was solemnly invested with the title of despot of Roma nia. He ended his life soon after at Constantinople, in 1205, having reached, if there be no mistake in the records, the very uncommon age of ninety-seven. Dandolo (andrew), doge of Venice, and one of its early historians, was born about 1310. He distinguished himself by his knowledge of law, history, and polite literature; and rose first to the office of procurator of St. Mark, and then to that of doge, in 1343. He joined in a league with other Christian powers against the Turks, in consequence of which several bloody battles were fought, mostly favourable to the allies, but at length they received a signal defeat at Smyrna. The Venetians had more success in recovering Zara and Capo d'istria, which had revolted. Various disasters which hap pened to the city about this time, and thinned its inhabitants, were the cause of a decree offering na turalization to all foreigners who should settle in it, by the effect of which the losses were soon repaired. The commerce of Venice likewise received a great extension by a connexion with Egypt, which the doge formed by means of an embassy to the soldan; and the first Venetian ship sailed to Alexandria in 1345. The jealousy conceived by the Genoese of this new trade was the occasion of a war between the two republics, which continued with various suc cess for several years. A powerful fleet of Genoese entered the gulf of Venice, ravaged Istria, burnt the city of Parenzo, and occasioned such an alarm in Venice itself, that the port was shut up with chains. The doge put on armour, and exerted him self ih providing for the safety of the city, but his anxiety brought on an illness, of which he died in September, 1354, leaving a high character for learn ing, eloquence, courtesy, and patriotism. To An drew Dandolo is ascribed the compilation of the sixth book of Venetian Statutes; but he is most distinguished for his Chronicle of Venice, written in Latin, and comprehending the history of the re public from its commencement to 1342. Dandolo (brancaleone), was first invested with the title of podesta or magistrate by the Roman people in 1253. At this time the people of Rome were much harassed by the brz'gandage of the no bles, and they therefore fixed upon Dandolo, who was a Bolognese count, to protect them. He suc ceeded in disarming the nobles, and died much re spected by the Romans, in 1258. Dandre-bardon (michael francis), a French writer and painter, and director of the Aca demy at Marseilles, was born in 1700 at Aix in Provence, and died in 1783. He succeeded mestin historical pictures, but distinguished himself chiefly by his literary productions, among which are Prin cipos da Dessin; Vie de Carle Vanloo; and Histoire Universelle relative aux Arts. Daneau (in Latin Danaus, lambert), a learned French Protestant minister, was born at Orleans, about the year 1530. Having retired to Geneva, he became a minister, and professor of theology which ofiices he afterwards sustained with much reputation at Leyden in Holland. He settled finally at Castres in Languedoc, at which place he died in 1596. He was a man of consider able learning and abilities, and much esteemed in the Calvinistic churches, whose principles be de fended against the Lutherans, as well as Catholics.
