Research Materials

Post date: Sep 09, 2015 4:3:32 PM

Yesterday (Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015), our research books arrived. There are three of them; A history of Venice by John Julius Norwich, Venice: A maritime republic by Frederic C. Lane, and Venice: A new history by Thomas F. Madden.

The former two were obtained at the recommendation of project advisor Professor Fabio Carerra, while the last was ordered based on the book's Amazon.com description and the consumer reviews, which stated that the book contained very good in-depth information about the history of the city.

Over the course of this term, we plan to use these three books consistently as sources, along with the provided materials: L'Atlante storica di Venezia, L'Enciclopedia storica di Venezia, and Venezia Secolo per Secolo, all by project collaborator Giovanni Distefano.

We hope that all of these will prove to be useful resources for our work on the chronology of Venice.
