Marino Sanuto the Elder

“In the year 1321, I had an audience of our lord the pope, and presented him two books on the recovery of the Holy Land, and safety of the faithful; one bound in red, the other in yellow. At the same time I brought under his notice four geographical maps, one of the Mediterranean Sea, another of the land and sea, the third of the Holy Land, the fourth of Egypt.”

“Partitur autem totale opus ad honorem Sanctæ Trinitatis in tres libros. Nam sicut infirmanti corpori . . . . tria impertiri curamus: primo, syrupum ad præviam dispositionem; . . . . secundo, congruam medicinam quæ morbum expellat; . . . . tertio, ad conservandam sanitatem debitum vitæ regimen. . . . Sic conformiter continet liber primus dispositionem quasi syrupum, etc.”

“It is essential, either that all access to Egypt be completely prevented, or that it be thrown so thoroughly open that all may go, return, and trade freely through the soldan's territories: and on the latter alternative, that the thought of recovering the Holy Land be entirely given up. . . . But, it may be said, if the soldan should divert the Nile from the Mediterranean into the Red Sea? The thing is impossible; and, if it could be effected, Egypt would be ruined and become a desert. . . . . The soldan reduced, the fortresses on the Egyptian coast will become a sure asylum for the Christian nations, just as the lagunes of the Adriatic were for the Venetians, which, throughout the tempests of the Gallic, African, and Lombard invasions, and that of Attila, have remained inviolate.”
