Using long-buried archival material and a wealth of newly translated documents, Madden weaves a spellbinding story of a place and its people, tracing an arc from the city鈥檚 humble origins as a lagoon refuge to its apex as a vast maritime empire and Renaissance epicenter to its rebirth as a modern tourist hub.Madden explores all aspects of Venice鈥檚 breathtaking achievements: the construction of its unparalleled navy, its role as an economic powerhouse and birthplace of capitalism, its popularization of opera, the stunning architecture of its watery environs, and more. He sets these in the context of the rise and fall of the Byzantine Empire, the endless waves of Crusades to the Holy Land, and the awesome power of Turkish sultans. And perhaps most critically, Madden corrects the stereotype of Shakespeare鈥檚 money-lending Shylock that has distorted the Venetian character, uncovering instead a much more complex and fascinating story, peopled by men and women whose ingenuity and deep faith profoundly altered the course of civilization."/><meta property="og:title" content="Venice"/><meta property="og:type" content="book"/><meta property="og:site_name" content="Google Books"/><meta property="og:image" content="https://books.google.com.sg/books/content?id=7JbrB6zDmuIC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE71QxzLw6SuqYJBUz6CLJ26piA0EjkHXpp8hdy_7z38AjNTyeK_lE6yPf3cZN_tzhcNFvWZP-OCqz67FAQzH63K46qLN0z3ChHh7ccMWXfURH8R-ENbRfgKffIvyYSC2naUFoU4I"/><link rel="image_src" href="https://books.google.com.sg/books/content?id=7JbrB6zDmuIC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE71QxzLw6SuqYJBUz6CLJ26piA0EjkHXpp8hdy_7z38AjNTyeK_lE6yPf3cZN_tzhcNFvWZP-OCqz67FAQzH63K46qLN0z3ChHh7ccMWXfURH8R-ENbRfgKffIvyYSC2naUFoU4I"/><script></script><style>#gbar,#guser{font-size:13px;padding-top:1px !important;}#gbar{height:22px}#guser{padding-bottom:7px !important;text-align:right}.gbh,.gbd{border-top:1px solid #c9d7f1;font-size:1px}.gbh{height:0;position:absolute;top:24px;width:100%}@media all{.gb1{height:22px;margin-right:.5em;vertical-align:top}#gbar{float:left}}a.gb1,a.gb4{text-decoration:underline !important}a.gb1,a.gb4{color:#00c !important}.gbi .gb4{color:#dd8e27 !important}.gbf .gb4{color:#900 !important} #gbar { padding:.3em .6em !important;}</style></head><body class=""><div id=gbar><nobr><a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/search?tab=pw">Search</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/imghp?hl=en&tab=pi">Images</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://maps.google.com.sg/maps?hl=en&tab=pl">Maps</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://play.google.com/?hl=en&tab=p8">Play</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.youtube.com/?tab=p1">YouTube</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://news.google.com/?tab=pn">News</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=pm">Gmail</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://drive.google.com/?tab=po">Drive</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.google.com.sg/intl/en/about/products?tab=ph"><u>More</u> »</a></nobr></div><div id=guser width=100%><nobr><span id=gbn class=gbi></span><span id=gbf class=gbf></span><span id=gbe></span><a target=_top id=gb_70 href="https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print&continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3D7JbrB6zDmuIC%26pg%3DPT225%26dq%3D%2522Trachy%2522%2Bcoin%2B-wikipedia%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX&hl=en&ec=GAZACg" class=gb4>Sign in</a></nobr></div><div class=gbh style=left:0></div><div class=gbh style=right:0></div><div role="alert" style="position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0;"><a href="https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=7JbrB6zDmuIC&pg=PT225&dq=%22Trachy%22+coin+-wikipedia&hl=en&sa=X&output=html_text" title="Screen reader users: click this link for accessible mode.

Using long-buried archival material and a wealth of newly translated documents, Madden weaves a spellbinding story of a place and its people, tracing an arc from the city鈥檚 humble origins as a lagoon refuge to its apex as a vast maritime empire and Renaissance epicenter to its rebirth as a modern tourist hub.Madden explores all aspects of Venice鈥檚 breathtaking achievements: the construction of its unparalleled navy, its role as an economic powerhouse and birthplace of capitalism, its popularization of opera, the stunning architecture of its watery environs, and more. He sets these in the context of the rise and fall of the Byzantine Empire, the endless waves of Crusades to the Holy Land, and the awesome power of Turkish sultans. And perhaps most critically, Madden corrects the stereotype of Shakespeare鈥檚 money-lending Shylock that has distorted the Venetian character, uncovering instead a much more complex and fascinating story, peopled by men and women whose ingenuity and deep faith profoundly altered the course of civilization.","my_library_url":"https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print\u0026continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fop%3Dlibrary\u0026hl=en","is_magazine":false,"is_public_domain":false,"last_page":{"pid":"PT396","order":396}},{"enableUserFeedbackUI":true,"pseudocontinuous":true,"is_cobrand":false,"sign_in_url":"https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print\u0026continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3D7JbrB6zDmuIC%26pg%3DPT225%26dq%3D%2522Trachy%2522%2Bcoin%2B-wikipedia%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX\u0026hl=en","isEntityPageViewport":false,"showViewportOnboarding":false,"showViewportPlainTextOnboarding":false},{"page":[{"pid":"PT225","highlights":[{"X":418,"Y":98,"W":26,"H":15},{"X":177,"Y":139,"W":27,"H":15},{"X":496,"Y":424,"W":26,"H":15},{"X":496,"Y":668,"W":26,"H":15},{"X":473,"Y":709,"W":36,"H":15},{"X":54,"Y":729,"W":26,"H":15},{"X":492,"Y":749,"W":26,"H":15}],"flags":8,"order":225,"vq":"\u0026quot;Trachy\u0026quot; coin -wikipedia"}]},null,{"number_of_results":2,"search_results":[{"page_id":"PT225","snippet_text":"... \u003cb\u003ecoin\u003c/b\u003e a deceptive shine when it came out of the mint鈥攁 shine that would quickly darken with handling.
