Synopsis
This book traces the diplomatic, cultural, and commercial links between Constantinople and Venice from the foundation of the Venetian Republic to the Fall of the Byzantine Empire. It aims to show how, with the encouragement of the Fourth Crusade in 1204, the Venetians came to dominate first the Genoese and thereafter the whole Byzantine economy. At the same time, the author points to those important cultural and, above all, political reasons why the relationship between the two states was always inherently unstable.

Review
"The chapter on the crusade highlights the qualities of this book. Nicol not only tells a good story well. He also elucidates the contradictions and key lacunae of the sources with great skill, and he draws upon the vast secondary literature with assurance and judgement." Journal of Ecclesiastical History
"Nicol has done a considerable service in presenting the results of so much labor in a manner that will engage the general reader as well as finding an appreciative scholarly audience." The Slavonic and East European Review
"Professor Nicol's careful, learned and balanced account of the political and diplomatic relations between Byzantium and Venice covers much new ground. The intricate story...is told with impressive mastery of primary and secondary sources." History Today
"Nicol is one of the profession's foremost Byzantine scholars. In many respects this book is a compilation of his life's work and will serve as a foundation for students of the field. For Byzantinists, Nicol's work is the most concise diplomatic history available to date." Irene B. Katele, The International History Review
