Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.Of particular interest to students of Renaissance history, this volume provides a study of an oration delivered by the ambassador of Venice to the court of Lisbon in 1501. The Latin oration was published in Venice that year, and this rare publication is in the James Ford Bell collection at the University of Minnesota. Professor Weinstein translates the oration text, which is reproduced in facsimile also. He provides a biographical sketch of Pasqualigo, the ambassador, describes the historical events surrounding the oration, and comments in detail on the oration itself.
