Nel XIV e XV secolo, l’Impero Ottomano si andò affermando come nuova
potenza egemoniale nella regione che un tempo era stata il nucleo di
Bisanzio. Questa transizione interessò anche Venezia e l’élite veneziana
in quanto attori politici ed economici di rilievo nell’area. Di
conseguenza, i documenti veneziani sono stati spesso utilizzati per
illustrare la storia di un’epoca che vide il tramonto dell’Impero
bizantino e l’ascesa di quello ottomano. Eppure, le ripercussioni di
queste trasformazioni sulla copiosa produzione storiografica
tardo-medievale della Serenissima e, in particolare, sulle cronache
veneziane spesso anonime, non erano ancora state studiate in modo
sistematico.
In tale contesto questo volume, frutto di un workshop internazionale, combina riflessioni metodologiche sulle caratteristiche della cronachistica veneziana e dell’uso delle informazioni in essa contenute e singoli casi di studio che riflettono fasi cruciali della transizione bizantino-ottomana.
