In the 1530s, a Venetian merchant wandered through the streets of Tripoli and Aleppo trying to ascertain certain sums owed by Muslims to a dead relative. An experienced diplomat, he had been appointed as ambassador to the sultans predecessor Mehmed ii five years before; on that occasion, Dario had to deal with the humiliating losses of a number of Venetian outposts, such as Scutari in Albania, and the rich colony of Negroponte in the Aegean, which had belonged for centuries to the Serenissima. After dealing with painful borderland issues during his first mission in Istanbul, Dario labored to prevent Ottoman involvement in Italian affairs pursuant to the war of Ferrara, which opposed the Papacy and his allies against Venice. During this episode of the Italian internecine wars, Pope Sixtus iv (147184) went so far as to invoke the Ottoman assistance against Venice, and proceeded to excommunicate the Venetians. The Turks, it has to be noted, declined to receive the Popes ambassador to Istanbul on that occasion. In the context of these diplomatic intrigues, Dario attended numerous meetings with Ottoman dignitaries, the pashas, and as a result sent twenty-two dispatches reporting on his progress to the Doge and the Senate. In his missives, Dario addresses, among other subjects, a fair number of borderland issues, ranging from the enslavement of former Venetian subjects in regions recently lost to the Ottomans to the building of bridges across borderland watersides. It is in this context too that both the Venetian envoy and the pashas exchanged jokes about the excommunication imposed by Sixtus iv, and even about the news of the Popes death. On several occasions, Dario confesses having found amusement in these irreverent exchanges with the pashas: the other day the pashas said to me that the new pope had not yet absolved them of his excommunication, and I answered that this was not necessary, since the former pope had died, carrying the excommunication with himself, so they roared with laughter before they retired to meet the sultan, and in all sincerity I was unable to answer them otherwise. On another occasion, jokes about Venices Italian enemies could hardly hide Ottoman concern for the fate of the Republic: They questioned me about the Popes recent death, of which I replied I had no news; they informed me of a letter sent to his excellency the sultan regarding this, confirming the news. Mehmet Pasha then started joking, we indulged in revelry-making and His Excellency rolled over with laughter. And indeed, we know that Venices salvation in the war of the League of Cambrai was the object of public celebrations in the streets of Damascus in 1509. During one of these meetings, Dario advanced Venices complaints regarding Christians living on the Ottoman-Venetian borders, who were being made prisoner during peacetime. In such cases, in order to ascertain the circumstances under which a given person had been delivered to Muslim hands as a slave, the Turks required the Venetians to advance two Turkish witnesses fitting Islamic standards for trustworthiness. According to these standards, witnesses needed to know the person whose slave status was being disputed, should know the slaves mother and father by their names, and had to be reputable Muslims, able to say their prayers. These difficult and impossible conditions are so rigid, Dario informs the Doge, that it actually means the Ottomans do not wish to return any prisoners, hence we were left in a worse condition in times of peace that we were during hostilities, since, he argued, at war one takes precautions in order to defend oneselfbut now, trusting the peace agreement, we are exposed and suffer attacks both from land and sea, since the former is packed with corsairs, damaging every day our towns and fleet. The Ottoman suba and officials, Dario went on, go bird hunting, although their quarry are men, and our peasants sons are apprehended as soon as they reach their farms. Dario mentions that these issues were brought before the Ottoman judicial authorities: we have recourse to their voivodas and subas for help, but it is those same officials who are responsible for these misdeeds, and who actually mock the reasons of our plaintiffs. Just like the cases dealt with by the Venetian ambassador Dario, we often stumble upon descriptions of Ottoman officials hearing disputes and leading criminal investigations, and it is clear that traditional approaches to proof and procedure, such as those adopted by the qadis, were being followed in these cases. These extreme conditions we cannot stand, and, Dario said to the pashas, since you are respectful of the law when acquiring slaves with your own money, even more discretion would be expected when dealing with us, your friends, 6 to which the pashas answered that requiring Muslim witnesses of good standing is an article of faith. In his missive, Dario further noted that such is the injunction of their gospels, that they could not counter their own laws. I replied by saying that we Venetians have not concluded a truce with your muezzins and neither have you with our priests and friars should we heed them, we would never be at peace, and never conduct any commerce, nor any dialogue. Instead, the rulers who seek to preserve their state leave the priests to sing their hymns in their houses of prayer, they sign peace treaties with whomever they wish and so they keep their promises. Le Parole Che Non Ti Ho Detto Ita Free Of HonoringThe pasha, surmising a Venetian connection to the unexpected death of Sixtus iv, then retorted that you Christians can do this openly, since you have killed your pope and therefore are free of honoring any obligation, but we cannot do that. To judge by the hilarious tone of the conversation, the pashas were not lacking in a sense of humor, however what is more important for our argument is that the Turks were attempting to stress the moral obligations carried by governance, including respecting the biases against minority witnesses. Dario went on to claim, decidedly much less convincingly, that the Pope might well have died, but the Church still lives and governs among us Christians. At this point, Dario introduced the problematic issue of captives from the Ottoman-Venetian borderlands: his excellency laughed, but I cried, for I recall having seen in Constantinople, in chains, people known and close to me lost during the truce, begging for my help but, not being able to advance Turkish witnesses knowledgeable of the law, able to say their prayers and knowing their father and mother, I was unable to help them, so that they ended up being carried away and shipped to Anatolia with utmost cruelty, and as a result I clearly see it is impossible to keep the peace between us. As Dario was losing faith in the conversation, other officials present at the meeting began conversing, seemingly agreeing with Darios argumentthat is, that it was simply impossible to recover any of the Venetian captives by appealing to the qadi courts. A delicate diplomatic mission similar to that encountered by Dario was entrusted to Andrea Gritti (14551538) in 1502, after the OttomanVenetian war. Lengthy negotiations led by Gritti and his secretary revolved around the Florentines attempt to gain access to Ottoman lands through the Adriatic, and the proposal to create a foothold for Ottoman traders in Venetian-dominated Ravenna. Gritti faced the usual controversies that emerge during the drafting of treaties, such the handling of the estates of Muslims dead in Venice (and conversely, the seizure by the Islamic treasury of those belonging to Venetians) or the return of a number of slaves who were Muslims of Corfu and therefore Venetian subjects. The ambassador pushed the Ottomans to accept Venetian testimony for issues concerning the status and belongings of these Franks, and for which Muslim testimony was not available or undesired. In his own dispacci, Gritti received the same moral objections mentioned by his colleague Giovanni Dario: Davut Pasha replied to this by saying that, according to their law, they could not accept witnesses other than Muslim, since otherwise they would carry that burden until Judgment Day; I feigned not to understand. The apparently isolated issues mentioned above in the diplomatic narratives of Dario or Gritti actually revolved around the same legal problem; that is, the biases of Islamic law concerning proof and unbelief. Since the rise of the Ottoman Empire as a military power, if not earlier, the biases had been brought to the forefront of governance and diplomacy. In this, the Ottomans marked a definitive break with a long-established Mediterranean tradition of weaving trade and diplomacy relations and of legally dealing with foreigners in the marketplace. To be sure, voices were most frequently raised in the bazar, particularly in the Arab provinces, where the legal change brought about by Ottoman domination most strikingly countered previous practice.
