Amazon blurb:
This decree, issued under the protection of the Venetian doge and the Patriarch, establishes strict regulations against the sale of slaves in the province. It emphasizes the moral and spiritual implications of such practices, asserting that anyone involved in the slave trade will face severe penalties, including loss of life or limb. The Doge, along with prominent religious leaders, seeks to restore honor and integrity to their communications with the emperor in Constantinople. Additionally, it prohibits Venetians from transporting slaves or engaging in trade with Greeks, aiming to eliminate corrupt practices and uphold the dignity of the community.
