Padua University (the third in Italy) was founded in 1222, making it one of the oldest universities in continuous operation.
Padua passed under Venetian rule in 1405, and so remained, with a brief interval during the wars of the League of Cambray, till the fall of the republic in 1797.
From the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, the university was renowned for its research, particularly in the areas of medicine, astronomy, philosophy and law. This was thanks in part to the protection of the Republic of Venice that enabled the university to maintain some freedom and independence from the influence of the Roman Catholic Church. During this time, the University adopted the Latin motto: Universa universis patavina libertas (The Freedom of Padova is complete for everybody).
The City of Padua was part of the Republic of Venice. Venice became an imperial power following the Fourth Crusade, which (with Venetian aid) seized Constantinople in 1204 and established the Latin Empire; Venice herself carved out a sphere of influence known as the Duchy of the Archipelago. Considerable plunder was brought back to Venice, including the Winged Lion of St. Mark, symbol of Venice. Only Venetian ships could efficiently transport the men, supplies, and (especially) war horses.
Situated on the Adriatic Sea, Venice traded with the Byzantine Empire and the Moslem world extensively.

Do you mean "ottoman"? You say you have a list to choose from. Can you be more specific?
