Unübertroffen war die Markusrepublik darin, sich selbst in Wort und Bild immer wieder neu in aller Pracht und Herrlichkeit zu erschaffen. Der entstandene Mythos zeigte Wirkung - im positiven wie im negativen Sinne. Wer im 16. und 17. Jh. in der Kontroverse um die beste Staatsform über Republiken schrieb, meinte Venedig. Wie kein anderer Staat vermochte die Markusrepublik Bewunderung, Neid, ja Abscheu hervorzurufen. Gleich der klassischen Trias von Entstehung, Aufstieg und Fall verlief auch Venedigs «Karriere» in der politischen Literatur. Anknüpfend an grosse Namen wie Gasparo Contarini, Niccolo Machiavelli, James Harrington und Montesquieu beschreibt die Forschung Aufstieg und Höhepunkt im 16. sowie den Fall im 18. Jahrhundert. Die vorliegende Studie eröffnet mit bislang nicht gestellten Fragen eine neue Sichtweise auf den Mythos Venedig: Anstatt wie bisher die Venedig-Bilder der einzelnen Staatsdenker zu vergleichen, rücken nun die Argumentationsketten der besagten Autoren ins Zentrum der Analyse. Die akribisch herausgearbeiteten Widersprüche und Paradoxien innerhalb der jeweiligen Staatstheorien lassen die Rolle Venedigs als Argumentationsstütze in neuem Lichte erscheinen.

Corruption, Anti-Corruption, Vigilance, and State Building from Early to Late Modern Times challenges current historiographical approaches, proposing new interpretations to rethink the relation between corruption and the socio-political and economic transformations since early globalisation. By adopting both transnational and long-term approaches, the book explores the historical dimension of notions such as accountability, transparency, and vigilance in their immediate political, social, and legal contexts. The starting point is to view corruption not as a moral category that emerged in 1789 to delegitimise past, foreign or present state systems, but as a constantly contested concept that must also be historicised in past societies. The collection revisits chronologies and examines different local, regional, and national frames, highlighting that the path to modernity was contested and affected by a variety of unique circumstances, such as revolutions and external political powers. Building on the latest research and offering new methods of inquiry, this book is a compelling resource for academics interested in political history and the history of corruption.

Wie kommt es, dass man von Dresden als dem »Elbflorenz« spricht? Und warum wird der Name »Venedig des Nordens« gleich von mehreren Städten – Amsterdam, Brügge, Hamburg, St. Petersburg bis hin zu Stockholm – für sich in Anspruch genommen? Und wo wollte man nicht überall Rom finden? Ob in Konstantinopel, dem sogenannten »Nova Roma« mit seinen sieben Hügeln oder in Moskau, das als »das dritte Rom« gilt? Spannend wird es dann, wenn Städte, die sich auf andere Städte berufen, selbst zu neuen Vorbildern avancieren, wie im Falle von Paris. Ist diese Zitierfähigkeit und -freudigkeit von Städten heute auch noch aktuell? Zu all diesen Fragen nimmt uns der Architekturhistoriker Wolfgang Pehnt in diesem lehr- und aufschlussreichen Band mit. Mit seinem anschaulichen wie prägnanten Schreibstil spürt er den Ursprüngen, Legenden und Vorbildern von Städten nach, von Athen bis Jerusalem. Er lehrt seine Leser Städte lesen wie ein Buch.

Investigating a few lost trinkets, Urbino Macintyre discovers a mysterious murder Samuel Possle is Venice’s oldest expatriate, a reclusive former playboy whose hedonistic youth would make the perfect subject for a book—that is, if any writer could make him talk. Biographer and amateur sleuth Urbino Macintyre has been trying for months to get an interview with Possle, and he is about to give up when his closest friend, the Contessa da Capo-Zendrini, offers to introduce him to Possle in exchange for a favor. Worthless items have gone missing from her home, and she wants Macintyre to find out if they were stolen or if her mind is beginning to slip. What appears to be an innocuous case will lead Macintyre down a treacherous canal. Interviewing Possle and searching for the contessa’s missing baubles draws the detective into the city’s gothic underbelly, where dark figures seem to lurk around every corner, and the fog conceals terrible secrets.

Zeitgenössische Republiken bündelten Perspektiven politischen Reformdenkens in der Frühaufklärung (1650-1750). Als wirtschaftlich und strategisch wichtige Konkurrenten in einer Phase der konfliktreichen Verschiebung des europäischen Mächtegeflechts wurden sie zum Gegenstand einer neuen rationalen und pragmatisch ausgerichteten Analyse. Die Erkenntnisse, die aus dieser Analyse gewonnen wurden, sollten für den eigenen Staat nutzbar gemacht werden – egal ob in England, in Frankreich oder in einzelnen Territorien des Reichs. Reformvorschläge zielten damit auf eine vom Menschen gestaltbare Zukunft im Diesseits und bedienten so nicht länger eschatologische oder zyklische Interpretationsmuster historischer Entwicklung. Wirtschaftlicher Erfolg, Stabilität, Effektivität und Schnelligkeit sowie Freiheit und Rechtssicherheit avancierten zu normativen Zielvorstellungen des bestmöglichen Staates. Wie diese zu erreichen seien, wurde anhand von Venedig, den Vereinigten Provinzen der Niederlande und der Eidgenossenschaft quer zu nationalen und konfessionellen Grenzen europaweit kritisch diskutiert.

In this late medieval tale of mystery and witchcraft, Laura Rahme breathes life into a Venice long forgotten. From the dark sottoporticos of the Arsenal, to the wealthy mansions of Castello, and deep within the secret passages of the Ducal Palace, The Mascherari is an occult tale rich with history. VENEZIA, 1422. Doge Tommaso Mocenigo lies on his death bed. An evil has come to Venice. An evil that will set the course for the future of La Serenissima. On the eve of Carnivale, five wealthy Venetian merchants set upon a mask maker in the ancient district of Santa Croce. They are led by Giacomo Contarini, a ruthless patrician. The following day, the Venice Republic's security council, the most feared Council of Ten, summons Florentine inquisitor, Antonio da Parma, to hold an inquest on a most baffling case. During a sumptuous banquet, Giacomo Contarini and his partners have met a chilling death. Newly widowed and fresh from Florence, Antonio da Parma's reputation precedes him. He is known for his susceptibility to the occult and is sternly warned that The Council of Ten want none of that. Yet in the throes of this macabre investigation Antonio is lured by his dreams and visions and by the mysterious silver pendant that he discovers on one of the dead merchants. Enter the dashing Esteban del Valle, a formidable swordmaster of Nubian origins. Esteban grieves his stolen inheritance and the death of his Catalan adopted father. He survives, mysteriously, through the influence of high ranking patricians. He never removes his mask and has sworn to reclaim his wealth. Noble Catarina Contarini has a sad tale to tell. Her husband's death weighs upon her and so too, do the scandalous accusations that have been raised against him. In her grief, she confides in Antonio and reveals her shocking secrets. But Catarina's darkest secret concerns a witch; a Napoletana named Magdalena. Antonio is drawn ever closer to the magnetic Magdalena. He unveils the truth behind the merchants' murders and comes face to face with a machination of monstrous evil. Through this fascinating Magdalena, an enchanter of admirals and merchants alike, Antonio begins to realize that his true quest is one he could never have imagined. Weaving historical mystery and the supernatural, The Mascherari evokes a Venice that will leave your breathless.
