This page is still very much under construction, but will contain links to additional internet material that you might find interesting or informative. Please do suggest links to me if you find anything worthwhile.

Venice

• Michael of Rhodes - A Venetian Sailor (1401-1443) and his world. See also their exhibit site for other similar pages on interesting historical Italian subjects.
• Venetia.it - The official city website (I think!)
• Venice - The Conspiracy Theory. See how Venice still rules the world! This is an amusing site and worth a chuckle, but do not believe anything you read here, please.

Ottomans

• The Ottomans - an online textbook. Fantastic site. Start here.
• Ottoman Rulers - From a course on Ottoman history at University of Alberta. With a nice glossary.
