The “Chronica per extensum descripta” by Andrea Dandolo
The Chronica per extensum descripta by Andrea Dandolo — doge of Venice 1343-1354 — was an influential early chronicle of the history of Venice, from the mythical foundations to the early 1300s.
It is also called Andreae Danduli ducis venetiarum Chronica per extensum descripta, which is shorted to Chronica per extensum descripta, or just the Chronica extensa. It is also called the Chronicon Venetum.
Andrea Dandolo also wrote a short chronicle, the Chronica brevis, during his tenure as Procuratore di San Marco, before being created doge.

#WWI #WW1 Help please. Which are the best books from France?
I'm a casual reader around society and politics, so I particularly liked that British Army doctor's book. [edit needed obvs] What's available in translation into English that gives a sense of individuals and/or their families going through military service?
Also, I've also only read one German WW1 book. That one. So recommendations are equally welcome for Germany or anywhere that might fit the spec.
