On great occasions the people was convoked in a Parliament, which at Venice was called Arengo. The Doge, with his six Councillors and the three heads of the Court of Appeal, formed the Collegio, which in Florence instead was called the Signoria. The Major Council and the Pregadi could be com- pared to the two Assemblies, General and Special. The difference between the two forms of g-overnment lay in this : that the Doge was elected for life, while the Gonfaloniere of Florence changed with the S...ig- noria every two months. Besides this, in Venice the patricians had conquered, while in Florence it was the people. And the two Republics advanced along the two diverging lines which they had adopted from the first. Thus in Florence the point was reached in 1293 where the Ordinamenti di Giustizia de- stroyed the aristocracy ; while in Venice, in 1297, the closing, or serrata, of the Major Council limited and determined the number of families which alone could form part of it. In 13 15 the first register of 348 MEDIiEV^AL ITALY these families was compiled.
