In 1236 envoys to the court of Rome were forbidden to procure a benefice for any one without the approval of the Doge. By a law of 1268, an ambassador was not allowed to be accompanied by his wife, lest she divulge his business, but he was required to take his own cook, lest he be poisoned. By another law of the same year, any present received from a foreigner was required to be deposited with the state, until the en- voy's return from his mission. No diplomatic agent was sent into a foreign te...rritory where he had property, nor was he allowed a single day's absence from his post. In 1288, it was decreed that ambassadors should de- posit, within fifteen days of their return, a written account of the replies made to them during their mission, together with anything they might have seen or heard to the honor or in the interests of the republic. This decree, renewed in I2q6, 1425, and 1533, was the origin of the famous reports of the Venetian ambassadors to the Senate, which now constitute a store-house of information for the his- torian of the Renaissance and the Reformation.
