### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book about the history of manufacturing
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2019*

I bought this book because I wanted to learn more about the specifics of the Venetian approach to shipbuilding, which was very different to that of contemporary shipbuilding. (As an example, in Inferno, Dante refers to "the pitch that the Venetians use to seal their shoddy ships")I found a bit in this book about construction methods (less than I'd hoped for) but got a ton in return that I didn't know I'd wanted.Venice recognized early that their navy was the key to their power. Much of the book is about industrial policy as the Venetians attempted to keep a large "surge" capacity for building warships even in times of peace. They subsidized shipwrights, engaged in protectionist restrictions on commerce in foreign-built ships, attempted to break the unions, tried to protect critical materials needed for ship building, and did dozens of other things that a student of modern industrial policy will find very familiar. This is an amazing book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A great book of a great historian.
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2004*

It would be ridiculous and supercilious to review this great book of a great historian, celebrated since its first edition in 1934.  This is only a loving recollection of an illustrious researcher and dear friend that dedicated so much of his outstanding toil to the Queen of the Mediterranean.It is enough to say that Venetian Ships and Shipbuilders of the Renaissance, after seventy years, is still a must for all who want to study in depth the European history of the XV and XVI century.

*by T***. on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2012*
