The Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Lit.) was a magistracy of the Republic of Venice responsible for the oversight of trade and manufacturing.

History

The magistracy was established for the first time, as an interim measure, in 1506,[1] but was made permanent in 1517.Шаблон:Sfn The remit of the Шаблон:Lang was from the beginning very broad, covering all aspects of overland or seaborne trade.Шаблон:Sfn The board was tasked with proposing laws to the Full College, reviewing the taxes levied by the Шаблон:Lang and the Шаблон:Lang, and supervising all officials dealing with merchant goods.Шаблон:Sfn Along with the Шаблон:Lang and the Шаблон:Lang, the Шаблон:Lang formed a college responsible for setting customs dues on imports and exports.Шаблон:Sfn

The magistracy's authority was soon extended to cover wages (1540), the Levantine Jews of the Ghetto of Venice (1541), jurisdiction over the Fondaco dei Tedeschi (1550) and approval of the resolutions of lay associations (1553), the supervision of the Шаблон:Lang funds (1570), and of navigation and maritime insurance (1588).Шаблон:Sfn Further extensions followed with jurisdiction over Ottoman Jews (1625) and Armenians (1676), combating smuggling (1682)—a special province of a member of the Five known as the Шаблон:Lang—and finally on the sale of tobacco (1723).Шаблон:Sfn

In 1708–1756, in an unsuccessful attempt to halt the decline of Venetian commerce, a parallel magistracy, the Шаблон:Lang, were established, whose meetings had to be attended by at least one of the Шаблон:Lang.Шаблон:Sfn
