It is a primary source for the longest Mediterranean conflict of the early modern age.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComposed by Emmanuel Mormori, a hitherto obscure Greek Cretan nobleman, the text is accompanied by an extensive introduction focusing on the author, who appears to have been a Venetian intelligence agent in Ottoman-conquered Chania (in Crete), and, for a period of five years, became key to the Venetian war effort. The volume includes a dossier of documents illuminating this figure, culled from the collections of the State Archive of Venice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kiril Petkov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1802702105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781802702101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ARC Humanities Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Kiril Petkov","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47135589269759,"sku":"9781802702101","price":193.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c597834-62c6-4f8a-b803-bc4bc33653b1.jpg?v=1755010588","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-venetian-spys-account-of-kiril-petkov-9781802702101","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
