Yesterday, I received some great feedback on my recent article "Galley Slaves." Dr. Dwight C Spratley praised my efforts in communicating history to non-specialists, Rien de Meij suggested that my paper summarizes the current level of knowledge, Hans-Heindrich Nolte asked about differences in oarsmen's conditions throughout the Mediterranean, and Peter Krejsa inquired about considerations regarding the cost-benefit situation. I am grateful for these comments as they will help me delve deeper into the topic.

In the meantime, I have re-edited and published two parts of the prelude to my project on Wattpad. You can access them using the following links:

Additionally, I have prepared a lecture based on my paper "Vettor Fausto's Quinquereme." I will be including illustrations from Joseph Eliav's paper, "The Oar System of the Venetian Quinquereme," which explains a unique rowing system based on 16th-century technology.

I have also been gathering data for my upcoming paper on the War of Chioggia. Ruthy Gertwagen's work "Venice, Genoa and the Fights over the Island of Tenedos" explores the impact of the struggle for domination over Tenedos on the war. Mark R. Filip's "Venetian Foreign Affairs from 1250 to 1381" speculates on the One Hundred Years War between Venice and Genoa and dedicates ample space to the War of Chioggia. Additionally, "Medieval Italy Texts in Translation" provides an extract from the Morosini Codex, which cites the Venetians' first use of naval artillery against the Genoese coastal fortifications.
