This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ORIGINALLY published in 1934, this major study by Frederic Lane tracks the rise and decline of the great shipbuilding industry of Renaissance Venice. Drawing on a wealth of archival sources, Lane presents detailed descriptions of the Venetian arsenal, including the great galleys that doubled as cargo ships and warships; the sixteenth-century round ships, which introduced dramatic innovations in rigging and were less vulnerable to attack than the galleys; and the majestic galleons, whose straight lines and greater speed made them ideal for merchantmen but whose narrowness made them liable to capsize if loaded with artillery. Lane also includes vivid accounts of the rivalries between the famous shipbuilders of the period. There was the impassioned competition between Leonardo Bressan and Marco Francesco Rosso to design the quickest, lightest galley—a contest that Bressan won when Rosso was crushed to death; the race between Vettor Fausto and Matteo Bressan to build the best galleon for use against pirates; and the rivalry between Bernardo di Bernardo and Nicolò Palopano to be the master builder of great merchant galleys. Additional chapters detail the actual process of ship construction, from the design stage, to framing and ribbing the hull, to building the rigging; the organization and activity of the shipbuilders craft guilds and the various private shipyards; and the development and management of the Arsenal. Tables and appendixes detail the types, measurements, number, and capacity of the ships, as well as the wages of the shipbuilders.

Book Synopsis Shipbuilders of the Venetian Arsenal by : Robert C. Davis
Download or read book Shipbuilders of the Venetian Arsenal written by Robert C. Davis and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2007-01-11 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The master ship builders of seventeenth-century Venice formed part of what was arguably the greatest manufacturing complex in early modern Europe. As many as three thousand masters, apprentices, and laborers regularly worked in the city's enormous shipyards. This is the social history of the men and women who helped maintain not only the city's dominion over the sea but also its stability and peace. Drawing on a variety of documents that include nearly a thousand petitions from the shipbuilders to the Venetian governments as well as on parish records, inventories, and wills, Robert C. Davis offers a vivid and compelling account of these early modern workers. He explores their mentality and describes their private and public worlds (which in some ways, he argues, prefigured the factories and company towns of a later era). He uncovers the far-reaching social and cultural role played by women in this industrial community. He shows how the Venetian government formed its shipbuilders into a militia to maintain public order. And he describes the often colorful ways in which Venetians dealt with the tensions that role provoked—including officially sanctioned community fistfights on the city's bridges. The recent decision by the Italian government to return the Venetian Arsenal to civilian control has sparked renewed interest in the subject among historians. Shipbuilders of the Venetian Arsenal offers new evidence on the ways in which large, state-run manufacturing operations furthered the industrialization process, as well as on the extent of workers' influence on the social dynamics of the early modern European city.

Book Synopsis A Forest on the Sea by : Karl Appuhn
Download or read book A Forest on the Sea written by Karl Appuhn and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of a Venetian forestry service might strike one as the beginning of a joke. The statement that it began in the fourteenth century would surprise most people. Venice is built on a lagoon with no timber resources. This book reveals the story of Venice's attempt to establish protected forests in order to have a constant supply of wood. Beyond the need for wood for heating and cooking, tall beams of oak and beech were needed for ship building and the shoring up of breakwaters that kept the sea from flooding the city. The author follows the practice of forest conservation and management from its inception in the 1300s to the end of the eighteenth century. He details the administrative and legal debates as well as problems with the implementation of policies. This study is a corrective to histories that assume a lack of interest in forest conservation in Europe at this time. The experience of the Venetians also serves as an example for timber use and conservation today.

Download or read book Venice 697-1797 written by Aluise Zorzi and published by Harry N. Abrams. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction recounts the reputation of the canaled cosmopolis through history: Venice as city of lovers and libertines (the fluid city gave birth to Cassanova), the best city in which to hide, a city of high culture, and a 16th-century haven for heretics and free thinkers. Specific history/legend begins with early settlement of the area as a result of the invasion of Attila, forcing Romans to find refuge among small fishing islands and narrow canals (Zorzi believes it wasn't just Attila, but a series of sieges and resulting settlements). The book is heavy with paintings and photos, and appendices include a very useful chronology, a list of Venice doges, and a glossary of names. Written to appeal to an educated but popular readership. Zorzi is chairman of the Committee for the Publication of Source Material on the History of Venice. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

This manuscript, "lost," or at least in unknown hands for over 400 years, has never been published or translated in its entirety until now." "Volume 1 is a facsimile of the manuscript, reproduced in full color. The text is written out by hand and beautifully illustrated (probably at least in part by Michael himself), featuring color diagrams and illustrations of naval architecture, original drawings of astrological signs, calendrical charts, and a coat of arms Michael devised for himself." --Book Jacket.
