About This Item
Harvard University Press, 2007 8vo (21 cm), XXVI, 358 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (bookplate). "Pietro Bembo (1470-1547), a Venetian nobleman, later a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, was the most celebrated Latin stylist of his day and was widely admired for his writings in Italian as well. He was named official historian of Venice in 1529 and began to compose in Latin his continuation of the city's history in twelve books, covering the years from 1487 to 1513. Although the work chronicles internal politics and events, much of it is devoted to the external affairs of Venice, principally conflicts with other European states (France, Spain, the Holy Roman Empire, Milan, and the papacy) and with the Turks in the East. This edition, in a projected three volumes, makes it available for the first time in English translation." (from the publisher's description)
