War, Culture and Society in Renaissance Venice Essays in Honour of John Hale

David Chambers, John Rigby Hale, Cecil H. Clough, Michael Mallett — 1993

While the majority of these essays are about wars fought against Venice's enemies or on the building and defence of Venetian and other fortifications, there are also essays on other aspects of Venetian life and art: on Giorgione's earliest work; on the career of a Venetian pope; on the building of the Ca' d'Oro; and on the Diarii of Marino Sanuto.
