I need 10 about the play (not about characters or the story but things like when it was printed ect.) I can only find seven, they need to be from reliable websites and they need to have more than 1 source.
I'll give best answer to the person who finds the most (and best) facts, not the person who answers the quickest so please either give me a good answer or no answer at all.

The only two recorded performances of The Merchant of Venice in the seventeenth century were staged in the spring of 1605, before King James I at Whitehall Palace.
The play seems to be influenced by (and perhaps reacting against) Christopher Marlowe's immensely popular black comedy The Jew of Malta, which was written around 1589 and revived in 1594.

Venice (Venezia) really needs number introduction, see ways to get there with hotelbye . This town has been a fabled location for centuries. Only the title Venice will do to conjure up a host of photos, actually for many who have not even set foot in Italy. From gondoliers in striped jerseys to the Rialto and the Bridge of Sighs, masked balls, fantastic barges, courtesans in gondolas and crumbling palaces experiencing streets manufactured from water Venice is an amazing city. After the only connection across the Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge marks the location of the island's first settlement, named Rivus Altus and is currently one of the lots of place that Venice has to offer.

The earliest text of the MoV is a quarto dated 1600.
The two compositors who set MoV in print were probably the same two who set Titus Andronicus and Hamlet.
Shakespeare was probably influenced by Marlowe's The Jew of Malta.
