About This Item
37, [1], [2 blank] ll.Second edition of Ramberti's description of his journey to Constantinople in 1533. The scholar Benedetto Ramberti (1503-1546), later librarian of the Nicena, a friend of Aretino and the "figlioli di Aldo", joined his cousin Daniele de'Lodovici on 4 January 1533 on a diplomatic mission to Constantinople.Ramberti's account of his voyage commences with a portrayal of the journey of the Venetian mission as they traverse Dubrovnik and the Balkans on their way to Constantinople. In the second part, the palace and court of Sultan Suleiman and the financial structure of the Ottoman Empire are described and the third book details the governance of the state and empire. The Venetians held a significant advantage over other foreign visitors in the Ottoman capital due to their access to Alvise Gratti, an influential figure with close ties to the grand vizier Ibrahim and Sultan Suleiman himself. Gratti was fluent in Turkish and possessed a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of the Ottoman government.Slightly browned throughout, Minor marginal wormholes in leaves 34-[38] without affecting the text, more extensive worm holes in the last two blank leaves.
