Jurisditioni del Golfo [manuscript], compiled ca. 1650.

110 leaves.

In different hands. 5 discourses bound together proving Venice's claim to dominion of the Adriatic Sea, 1590-1634 by members of the Tiepolo family and others: "Risolution de dottori legisti intorno le controversie frà la serenissima casa d'Austria et la Republica di Venetia cive se li SS Venetiani sono padroni et Signori del Mare Adriatico" by Giovanni Tiepolo, April 12, 1592 (fol. 3), "Che il titolo del dominio del Mare non sia previleggio o prescrizione Serenissime Prencipe" (fol. 69), "Delli senni ridote e gravezze maritime" by Lorenzo Tiepolo, November 27, 1634 (fol. 81), "Certum consilium Excellentissimorum Dominorum Raphaelis Fulgerii et Raphaelis de Curis, juris utriusque doctorum" by Giovanni Tiepolo, October 2, 1601 (fol. 87), and "Summario dalli giurisdittioni et imperio patronia e dominio che ha la serenissima signoria de Venetia nel mare," February 11, 1590 (fol. 107).

In Italian.

The last of these works, the Summario, gives instances where the Republic of Venice has granted, on her own will, the use of the Adriatic Sea to foreign powers, with entries dating from between 1121 and 1558. Most of these entries coincide with a similar list which is printed in the second book of the Venetian Joannes Palatius which was published in 1663 (De Dominio Maris) and deals, 70 years later, with the same subject.
