How was knowledge about political practices codified and transmitted in the Venice of humanism and the Renaissance? The letter collection of aristocratic official Ludovico Foscarini (14091480) provides answers to this question. This volume is the first to comprehensively analyze this important source and provides an academic edition of the letter collection that Foscarini left to his sons as a handbook of political communication.
