Résumé anglais Mihnea Berindei, The Venetians in the Black Sea over the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. New documents. Thanks to recent research work we know that Venetian merchants were still present in the Black Sea after the conquest of Constantinople and of almost all the Pontie coast by the Ottomans. Was it a mere survival of the past, fated to die out in the late sixteenth or early seventeenth centuries - as experts arc inclined to believe - or was it on the contrary to be ascribed to the persistency of long-standing trade movements ? The discovery of several copies of Ottoman documents in the Venetian archives enables us to settle the question: not only were the Venetian merchants still present in the harbours of the Black Sea in the sixteenth (and also in the seventeenth) centuries, but their importance was such that they could be represented and defended by consuls when the need arose (such was the case in Kefe in 1593 and 1635, or in Kili in 1640).
