In the decades after 1404, traditionally maritime Venice extended its control over much of northern Italy. Citizens of Vicenza, the first city to come under Venetian rule, proclaimed their city "firstborn of Venice" and a model for the Venetian Republic's dominions on the terraferma. In Firstborn of Venice James Grubb tests commonplace attributes of the Renaissance state through a rich case study of society and politics in fifteenth-century Vicenza. Looking at relations between Venetian and local governments and at the location of power in Vicentine society, Grubb reveals the structural limitations of Venetian authority and the mechanisms by which local patricians deflected the claims of the capital. Firstborn of Venice explores issues that are political in the broadest sense: legal institutions and administrative practices, fiscal politics, the consolidation of elites, ecclesiastical management, and the contrasting governing ideologies of ruler and subjects. 410 0$aJohns Hopkins University studies in historical and political science ;$v106th ser., 3. 606 $aCity-states$zItaly$xHistory 606 $aRenaissance$zItaly$zVenice 606 $aRenaissance$zItaly$zVicenza 607 $aVenice (Italy)$xHistory$y697-1508 607 $aVicenza (Italy)$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCity-states$xHistory. 615 0$aRenaissance 615 0$aRenaissance 676 $a945/.31 700 $aGrubb$b James S.$f1952-$01203254 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524691103321 996 $aFirstborn of Venice$92777455 997 $aUNINA
