Abstract
The text of the 1540 peace treaty (ʿahdnâme, capitulations) between Venice and the Porte has been subject to an intense scholarly debate regarding the different versions in which it is preserved. Bonelli, Lehmann, Bombaci, and Theunissen all discussed the relative chronology of the different witnesses, which exhibit discrepancies in the clauses and especially in the territories ceded by Venice to the Sublime Porte. Eighty years after Bombaci, this article returns to the subject with new evidence gained from an unpublished witness of the treaty, found in the archives of the Franciscan Convent of Musky in Cairo.
