- Abstract
Among the Italian merchant communities settled in the Crown of Castile Venetians are the least known. It seems clear that in the last decades of the 15th century they were only a few acting from Seville. To approach this group, scholars have mainly studied the information held in Castilian archives-notarial deeds, royal and municipal documents-which are limited both in number and chronology. The discovery of the testament of Andrea de Razi (1477), which we publish and study for the first time, sheds new light on the reality of the Venetian Nation in the Iberian Peninsula and allows to enlarge our knowledge of the mercantile network and the commercial strategies developped. At the same time, it reveals more solid connections of Seville with the Eastern Mediterranean, related to the exports of oil (Venice), and antimony sulphate (Alexandria).
