Böcker av Eleanor Selfridge-Field

From 1637 to the middle of the eighteenth century, Venice was the world center for operatic activity. This reference work provides an ordering of 800 operas and 650 related works from the period 1660 to 1760. It provides information on about 1500 works.

Two systems of timekeeping were in concurrent use in Venice between 1582 and 1797. This work defines the many ways in which time was discussed, resolving a long-standing fuzziness imposed on studies of personnel, institutions, and cultural dynamics by dating conflicts.
