Reviews

A little gem, superbly crafted and well-written... Davis has certainly achieved his aim in describing and explaining the Venetian Arsenal and its workers with a competency that makes it well worth the price. - Northern Mariner This is social history at its best and an important, original contribution to the history of Venice. Not only does it shed much new light on a large segment of the Venetian working class, but it also adds to our understanding of the Venetian system of government's legendary stability and shrewd management of potentially disruptive forces. - Journal of Economic History Davis skillfully describes the arsenalotti and their world, using a wealth of manuscript and secondary materials. - Sixteenth Century Journal
