Fourteenth Century
Throughout the 14th century, the centre of literary production Venetian continued to be Padua. At the end of the 14th century, Count Carraresi commissioned Bibbia Istoriata Padovana and Liber agregà of Serapion also called "Erbario Carrarese" (held at the British Library, London), a translation from the Latin Carrara Herbarium, a treatise of medicine originally in Arabic. An important writer from this period is Francesco di Vannozzo (~1330-1389).
Cronaca de la guera tra Veniciani e Zenovesi by Daniele da Chinazzo is a chronicle of the War of Chioggia between 1379 and 1381.
Original works of the fourteenth century include those that go together under the name of Franco-Venetian literature characterized by a unique mix of vulgar Veneto with medieval French. Among the best known works are the anonymously authored lEntrée d'Espagne and its continuation, La prise de Pampelune by Niccolò da Verona.

“The surprise of animals... in and out, cats and dogs and a milk goat and chickens and guinea hens, all taken for granted, as if man was intended to live on terms of friendly intercourse with the rest of creation instead of huddling in isolation on the fourteenth floor of an apartment house in a city where animals occurred behind bars in the zoo.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“Whatever things a man gives up,
By those he cannot suffer pain.”
—Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
