Republic Of Genoa
The Republic of Genoa ( lij, Repúbrica de Zêna ; it, Repubblica di Genova; la, Res Publica Ianuensis) was a medieval and early modern maritime republic from the 11th century to 1797 in Liguria on the northwestern Italian coast. During the Late Middle Ages, it was a major commercial power in both the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. Between the 16th and 17th centuries it was one of the major financial centers in Europe. Throughout its history, the Genoese Republic established numerous colonies throughout the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, including Corsica from 1347 to 1768, Monaco, Southern Crimea from 1266 to 1475 and the islands of Lesbos and Chios from the 14th century to 1462 and 1566 respectively. With the arrival of the early modern period, the Republic had lost many of its colonies, and had to shift its interests and focus on banking. This decision would prove successful for Genoa, which remained as one of the hubs of capitalism, with highly developed banks ...

The manuscript, written in Latin, was previously owned by Antoine Isaac Silvestre de Sacy and has been held at the University of Genoa library since 1846. Its rediscovery was noted by Giorgio Levi Della Vida in a 1947 article. The manuscript's marginalia contain detailed verse-by-verse commentaries of the original Arabic text. At the time, the Latin translation, though not without problems, was the most accurate translation ever written in a European language. The manuscript was dedicated to Cardinal Alessandro Orsini.

Giannotto Lomellini
Giannotto Lomellini (Genoa, 1519 – Genoa, 1574) was the 68th Doge of the Republic of Genoa. Biography Like the dogates of his predecessors, the doge Lomellini, the twenty-third since the biennial reform and the sixty-eighth in republican history, also had to face the new noble contrasts that animated the streets of the Genoese capital. At the beginning of the mandate, the annals testify to a wide contrast with Matteo Senarega, esteemed and powerful chancellor of the Republic, and future doge in the two-year period 1595-1597, because of Lomellini's claims to sign the letters on an equal footing with foreign principles, protocol not provided instead in the Genoese order. More fortunate and important political strategy was the submission of Corsica after the independence and anti-Genoese unrest started by the leader Sampiero Corso; it was the same son of Sampiero, Alfonso, returning from France to negotiate the surrender with the Republic.

Giovanni Battista Lomellini

Stefano Lomellini
Stefano Lomellini (1683 in Genoa – 1753 in Genoa) was the 161st Doge of the Republic of Genoa. Biography Lomellini was known as a doge "out of obligation", since he never wanted to be the doge of the Republic. Just three months after his appointment he reformulated the same request for exemption, that he had already done when he was elected, but this time citing health problems and, having obtained a favorable response, and after payment for the exemption of 30,000 Genoese pounds, he was able to freely abdicate on 7 June 1752, an episode that has not happened since 1625 when doge Federico De Franchi Toso, following the outbreak of hostilities with the Piedmontese, preferred to resign to anticipate the customs elections. Consequently, he left political life to embrace religious life by becoming a priest. A very short, and above all never accepted, dogate, that of Doge Lomellini that fate would in any case have brought down early, a few months after his abdication, the noblem ...

Agostino Lomellini
Agostino Lomellini (Genoa, 1709 – Genoa, 1791) was the 166th Doge of the Republic of Genoa.
