The strengths of his finest works, especially the Diaries and the De origine, situ et magistratibus urbis Venetae, establish Sanudo as the leading Venetian historian of his generation. [3] | |||

Sanudo's Diary
The Diaries of Marin Sanudo, composed between 1496 (when Sanudo was 30) and 1533 (just under three years before his death), represent one of the most comprehensive daily records of events ever compiled by a single individual in early modern Europe. Alongside Samuel Pepys’s shorter, more private, and deeply personal diary, they stand as one of the most important sources of their kind. Together with his other historical and documentary writings, which remained unpublished until the modern era, the Diaries have become an essential resource for any serious study of Renaissance Venice. They offer insights into various aspects of Venetian life, from diplomacy to public spectacles, politics to institutional practices, state councils to public opinion, mainland territories to overseas possessions, law enforcement to warfare, the city's landscape to the lives of its inhabitants, and from religious life to fashion, prices, weather, and entertainment. The strengths of his finest works, especially the Diaries and the De origine, situ et magistratibus urbis Venetae, establish Sanudo as the leading Venetian historian of his generation. [3]

"...the continuity of events and institutions collapses into the quotidian. ...Unreflecting, pedantic, and insatiable, he aimed "to seek out every occurrence, no matter how slight," for he believed that the truth of events could only be grasped through an abundance of facts. 18 He gathered those facts in the chancellery of the Ducal Palace and in the streets of the city, transcribing official legislation and ambassadorial dispatches, reporting popular opinion and Rialto gossip"[1]
