The master shipbuilders of seventeenth-century Venice formed part of what was arguably the greatest manufacturing complex in early modern Europe. As many as three thousand masters, apprentices, and laborers regularly worked in the city's enormous shipyards. Drawing on a variety of documents -- nearly a thousand petitions from the shipbuilders to the Venetian governments, parish records, inventories, and wills -- Robert C. Davis offers a vivid and compelling account of these early modern workers. This social history explores the workers' private and public worlds, uncovers the far-reaching social and cultural role played by women in this industrial community, and shows how the Venetian government formed its shipbuilders into a militia to maintain public order.

Seller's Description:
Various. Fine in Near Fine jacket. An uncommon first edition copy of Robert C. Davis's 'Shipbuilders of the Venetian Arsenal', in a lovely condition. Robert C. Davis is a professor of Italian Renaissance and pre-modern Mediterranean history and has published a variety of books detailing the history of the Italian Renaissance. Primarily focused on social history, Davis attempts to reconstruct the lives of ordinary people within the period, from 'the men who built ships for the Venetian navy' within this text, 'Shipbuilders of the Venetian Arsenal', to 'the public brawlers and their popular codes of violence and honor in working-class Venice' in his 1994 text, 'The War of the Fists'. Within this text Davis comprehensively details the history of ship building in seventeenth-century Venice, drawing on a huge variety of documents and historical archives. In the original unclipped dustwrapper designed by Martha Farlow, also in an excellent condition. Collated, complete with numerous graphs, maps, figures and tables. In original cloth binding with original unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, lovely condition. Very slight rubbing to head and tail of spine. Internally firmly bound.
