It is a primary source for the longest Mediterranean conflict of the early modern age.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComposed by Emmanuel Mormori, a hitherto obscure Greek Cretan nobleman, the text is accompanied by an extensive introduction focusing on the author, who appears to have been a Venetian intelligence agent in Ottoman-conquered Chania (in Crete), and, for a period of five years, became key to the Venetian war effort. The volume includes a dossier of documents illuminating this figure, culled from the collections of the State Archive of Venice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ARC Humanities Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781802702101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.50d","brand":"Kiril Petkov","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52161364328629,"sku":"9781802702101","price":199.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_dfdc0567-25b5-4356-b084-326856549ea6.jpg?v=1768318087","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-venetian-spys-account-of-the-war-of-candia-emmanuel-mormoris-italian-text-with-english-translation-and-dossier-of-sources-9781802702101","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
