1610001421Venetia: Antonio Pinelli 1610. Full Vellum. Very Good. 8 8 615 pp. 8vo 8.25 by 6.25 inches 21 by 16 cm. Considered one of the most significant pieces of literature from the Middle Ages and a seminal work of literature written in the French language. Also a milestone in historiography as the most important account of the first and second crusades and especially the latter for which William of Tyre was a contemporary witness. The author produced this work at the request of Almaric I in about 1170 and he continued to work on it until 1183. The work was indeed accepted as unquestioned fact for many centuries and only recently have biases been discerned owing from William's entanglement in the political disputes of the day. <br/><br/> Antonio Pinelli hardcover books
