Following Niall Ferguson's assertion that "a catastrophe lays bare the societies and states that it strikes", this article studies the society of the Dalmatian town of Split through the lens of the various security threats it was exposed to around the year 1500, as well as the precautionary measures...

Based on broad archival evidence, four areas are studied: the military threat posed chiefly by the Ottomans, emigration and depopulation, epidemics, and civil discontent. The study of these measures, ranging from appeasing Ottoman officials to burning infected people's property, offers new insights into the structures of a border society between Venetian rule and Ottoman menace in the Renaissance period as well as the process of power centralization in the hands of the Venetians. Seguendo l'affermazione di Niall Ferguson secondo cui "una catastrofe mette a nudo le società e gli stati che colpisce", questo articolo studia la società della città dalmata di Spalato attraverso la lente delle varie minacce alla sicurezza a cui era esposta intorno all'anno 1500, nonché delle misure di precauzione adottate in previsione di esse. Sulla base di un'ampia documentazione archivistica, vengono studiate quattro tematiche: la minaccia militare suscitata principalmente dagli Ottomani, l'emigrazione e lo spopolamento, le epidemie e il malcontento civile. Lo studio delle conseguenti problematiche, che vanno dall'acquiescenza dei funzionari ottomani all'incendio delle proprietà degli infetti, offre nuovi spunti di riflessione sulle strutture di una società di confine tra il dominio veneziano e la minaccia ottomana nel periodo rinascimentale, nonché sul processo di centralizzazione del potere nelle mani dei Veneziani. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2023 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
