Karlócától Pozsarevácig : a Velencei Köztársaság és az Oszmán Birodalom kapcsolata olasz szemmel

In this study the author first gives a short summary of Venetian–Ottoman relations from their first contact in the 15th century to the Treaty of Karlowitz (1698-1699), focusing on the nature of these relations and the occasional military conflicts. After briefly discussing the creation of the Treaty of Karlowitz – which can be considered a direct antecedent of the Treaty of Passarowitz –, primarily from a Venetian perspective, it describes the military conflict of 1714–1718, originally between only Venice and the Ottoman Empire, with Austria joining in two years later. Finally the author attempts to review the process and outcome of the 1718 peace conference in the light of the relations of the Rebublic of Venice and the Ottoman Empire, using the work of Vendramino Bianchi, the secretary of the Venetian representative during the peace negotiations at Passarowitz as a primary source, that was published in Italian in 1719 in Padua (Bianchi, Vendramino: Istorica Relazione della Pace di Posaroviz di Vendramino Bianchi. Padova, 1719)
