Download or read book Venice Austria and the Turks in the Seventeenth Century written by Kenneth Meyer Setton and published by American Philosophical Society. This book was released on 1991 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kennth M. Setton provides a brief survey of the Thirty Years' Was as part of the background to Venetian relations with the Ottoman Empire. Having lost the island of Crete to the Turks in the long war of 1645-1669, Venice renewed her warfare with the Porte in 1684, this time as the ally of Austria after the Turkish failure to take Vienna the preceding year. The Venetians now conquered the Peloponnesus (the "Morea"), and occupied Athens, with the disastrous result that the Parthenon was destroyed, a tragedy which receives much attention in this book. This volume is to some exrtent a continuation of the author's highly praised work on "The Papacy and the Levant" (also published by the American Philosophical Society), which covers in four volumes the period from the Fourth Crusade (1204) to the battle of Lepanto (1571), and goes somewhat beyond.
Download or read book Floating Cities written by Margaret Hewson and published by Diane Books Publishing Company. This book was released on 1998-05-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A best seller in England, this book brings together the brilliant drawings of four of the great cities of the world by 16-year-old artistic prodigy Stephen Wiltshire, described as ģthe best child artist in Britain.ē What makes these drawings truly extraordinary is the fact that Wiltshire is autistic, and lives in his own private world. Yet his remarkable drawings express an understanding of his surroundings that most of us would envy. Not only does his art reveal a mastery of perspective and expert draftsmanship, but more important, it reveals his mysterious creative ability to capture the feeling of a building, its mood, character, and voice.
Download or read book Building on Water written by Salvatore Ciriacono and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fundamental natural resource, water and its use not only reflect "modes of production" but also that complex interplay between resources and their exploitation (and domination) by various social agents, who in their turn are inevitably influenced by the abundance or rarity of water supplies. Focusing on scientific, social and economic issues from the 16th to the 19th century, the author, one of Italy's leading historians in this field, looks at the innumerable conflicts that arose over water resources and the environmental impact of projects intended to control them. Venice and Holland are undoubtedly the two most fascinating cases of societies "built on water," with the conquest of vast expanses of marshland - either inland or on the coast (the Dutch polders or the Venetian lagoon) – not only stimulating agricultural production, but also nurturing a deeply-felt relationship between the local populations and the element of water itself. The author rounds off his study by looking at the influence the hydraulic technology developed in Holland would have on many European countries (France, England and Germany in particular) and at questions raised by contemporaries about the environmental impact of agricultural progress and its effects upon the social-economic equilibria within the communities concerned.
Download or read book Trading Places written by Maartje van Gelder and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-05-20 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trading Places is winner of the triennial Historical Research Award of Italy Studies (2012). This book deals with the Netherlandish merchant community in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Venice. It examines the merchants’ commercial activities, their social and communal relations, as well as their interaction with the Venetian state, which was accustomed to protect its own trade. The Netherlandish merchants in Venice, as part of an extensive international trading network, were ideally placed to connect Mediterranean and Atlantic commerce. They quickly became the most important group of foreign merchants in the city at a time of rapid economic changes. Drawing on a wide variety of primary sources, this book shows how these immigrant traders used their strong commercial position to secure a place in Venice. It demonstrates how the changing balance of international commerce affected early modern Venetian society.

Download or read book Sephardim and Ashkenazim written by Sina Rauschenbach and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sephardic and Ashkenazic Judaism have long been studied separately. Yet, scholars are becoming ever more aware of the need to merge them into a single field of Jewish Studies. This volume opens new perspectives and bridges traditional gaps. The authors are not simply contributing to their respective fields of Sephardic or Ashkenazic Studies. Rather, they all include both Sephardic and Ashkenazic perspectives as they reflect on different aspects of encounters and reconsider traditional narratives. Subjects range from medieval and early modern Sephardic and Ashkenazic constructions of identities, influences, and entanglements in the fields of religious art, halakhah, kabbalah, messianism, and charity to modern Ashkenazic Sephardism and Sephardic admiration for Ashkenazic culture. For reasons of coherency, the contributions all focus on European contexts between the fourteenth and the nineteenth centuries.

Book excerpt: The 7th volume in the series devoted to artistic relations between Italy and the Netherlands features the experience of the Venetian nobleman Francesco Morosini, the owner of the Amsterdam-built ship Sant'Agata Morosina, and poses the question: what can have prompted the nobleman to have commissioned a ship "alla Veneziana" in a country so far from home? In attempting to answer the question, the author reveals the many ways in which decisions and developments at the highest political and diplomatic level influence events and have an impact on the life of individuals.

Download or read book Venice Reconsidered written by John Jeffries Martin and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-02 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venice Reconsidered offers a dynamic portrait of Venice from the establishment of the Republic at the end of the thirteenth century to its fall to Napoleon in 1797. In contrast to earlier efforts to categorize Venice's politics as strictly republican and its society as rigidly tripartite and hierarchical, the scholars in this volume present a more fluid and complex interpretation of Venetian culture. Drawing on a variety of disciplines—history, art history, and musicology—these essays present innovative variants of the myth of Venice—that nearly inexhaustible repertoire of stories Venetians told about themselves.
