[first published in American Historical Review, 38 (1933): 219–39, and later in Venice and History: The Collected Papers of Fredric C. Lane, 3–24, Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins Press, 1966]). 4. Based on the records of the board of trade (V savi alla mercanzia), Ruggiero Romano counted 27 appeals for registration of foreign ships under the San Marco flag between 1591 and 1617. Since the Girarda is not among them, it may be assumed the number was even higher: see Ruggiero Romano, ‘La marine marchande vénitienne au XVIe siècle’, in Les sources de l’histoire maritime en Europe, du Moyen Age au XVIIIe siècle / Actes du Quatrième colloque international d’histoire maritime, Paris: 1959, 48, 58–60, Appendix 2 (Paris: SEVPEN, 1962). 5. Revenues collected from salt were necessary to cover the voyage expenses: see Jean-Claude Hocquet, ‘L’armamento privato’, in Alberto Tenenti and Ugo Tucci, eds., Storia di Venezia, vol. XII: Il mare, 400–403 (Rome: Istituto dell’Enciclopedia Italiana, 1991). 6. According to Pellegrini, revenues from noli were of 663:7 ducats, and the total revenues were of 3272:7 ducats. Based on carta 58d, the totals are 662:11 and 3387:20, respectively. See Pellegrini, Salariato, 14–5, 139: 58d. 7. Pellegrini, Salariato, 14.
