Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Coriolano Cippico (1425-93) was a Dalmatian nobleman from Trogir (Trau in modern Croatia), then part of the Venetian empire. He was a landowner, civil servant, humanist and military commander. From 1470 to 1474 he served as galley captain for a Venetian naval expedition in the eastern Mediterranean under the command of the future doge of Venice, Pietro Mocenigo.Cippico wrote 'The Deeds of Commander Pietro Mocenigo' in 1474/75. Its three books describe the campaign as Mocenigo's fleet engaged in a systematic depredation of the western Anatolian shoreline, helped suppress a political coup in Cyprus and seal the Venetian hold of the island, supported the Venetian diplomatic outreach to the lords of Karaman, the chief Ottoman adversaries in Anatolia, and provided crucial relief to the Venetian-held Albanian stronghold of Skodra (Scutari) besieged by Ottoman troops.Composed in an elegant humanist latin, 'The Deeds' offers a sophisticated eyewitness account of the Christian-Ottoman confrontation in the late fifteenth century. Besides its classicizing overtones, 'The Deeds' also makes astute and perceptive observations on the entangled relationship between Venice and the East.The brutality of war, the constant traffic in slaves and booty and the almost casual destruction of the ancient remains of Asia Minor form the backdrop to the expert diplomacy, crusade rhetoric, humanist discourse and cultural claims of the Venetian Republic. Cippico uses the language and tropes of the classical past, while the realities of combat and reprisal that he narrates give vivid testimony to the destruction of the last traces of that antiquity. Cippico provides one of the best narratives of how the empire of the Most Serene Republic actually worked.The present edition is the first English translation of 'The Deeds,' one of the finest pieces of Renaissance history writing, often and widely reprinted and much appreciated in its time but undeservedly forgotten until recently.Hardcover, 148 pages. Introduction, notes, bibliography. 20 illustrations, 3 maps.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. FIRST EDITION. 4to. a-g5, 54 unnumbered leaves. Roman letter, fine woodcut initials throughout, striking border with vine motif to a2. Some contemporary marginalia of place names in the Aegean, later inscription of Joseph Busera of Fabriano to recto of ffep. and dedicatory inscription to verso 'Bibliothecae Cathidialis Fabrianensis ex Dono Francis Prioris Busera A.D. 1766'. Pencil note of George Dunn sale at Sotheby's dated 23rd November 1917 to ffep. Marbled pastedowns with book plates of George Dunn, C. S. Ascherson and George Abrams. Light age yellowing, very light staining. A very good, very clean, well margined copy in 17th C vellum, spine wormed, a.e.r. In folding box. A handsome, crisp, large copy of a first-hand account of an early Venetian military expedition against the Ottomans, following the disastrous defeat at Negroponte on the island of Euboea, in a rivalry that would last until the 18th C, helping shape the religious and political landscape of modern Europe. The fall of the Byzantine Empire and Mehmet II's capture of Constantinople in 1453 initiated frequent clashes between East and the West, as they fought for supremacy over the Mediterranean. Cippico was a Dalmatian nobleman, humanist, and military commander from Trogir, in Dalmatia, who accompanied the future doge Pietro Mocenigo on campaign while he served as a galley captain between 1470-1474. He records the fleet's exploits in three books, beginning with the Venetian council's decision to face the Turks, following the deposition of Nicolo Canal, describing their travels through the Aegean with Thucydidean flair. The marginalia reveal particular interest in the various settlements mentioned, including Chius, Pergamus, Knidos, Samos, Atalia and Smyrna, all of which were highly significant in Antiquity and remained of great contemporary strategic importance. The author notes the Classical significance of these sites and highlights some of ancient ruins at Delos, recording the Greek inscription on a colossal statue, and marvelling at a monument to Homer in Smyrna. In highlighting the strong Western heritage of these sites, Cippico presents a more justified causa belli. Then next two books focus on Venetian attacks along the Turkish coastline, including the suppression of a political coup in Cyprus using the entire Venetian fleet, victory at the siege of Scutari, which had been surrounded by Ottoman troops in 1474, as well as the rescue of Catarina Corner, Queen of Cyprus. Cippico reveals the fleet's movements, specific naval manoeuvres and battle detail, and correspondence between Venetian and Ottoman forces. A detailed glimpse into Venetian war machine and the most serene republic's foreign policy in the late 15th C. USTC: 996107; Goff: C378; Essling 254; BMC: V 244; Blackmer Cat. p.235.
