商品簡介
In this book, author Dragos Cosmescu presents readers with an in-depth look at the fortifications made by Venetian citizes on the islands of Cyprus, Crete, and Corfu during the Rennaisance. The author argues that Venice was one of the first states to adopt the new technologies of fortification that would dominate military architecture for centuries to follow. He has organized the thirteen chapters that make up the main body of his text in five parts devoted to The Republic of Venice, the island of Cyprus, the island of Crete, the island of Corfu, and the defenses under attack in several wars. The author is an independent scholar and historian. Annotation c2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
