Entre mythe et histoire : la légende noire de la domination vénitienne à Chypre

C’est en pleine période d’expansion coloniale que le comte de Mas-Latrie a porté un jugement négatif sur les effets de l’administration vénitienne à Chypre ; cette opinion, qui s’appuie sur des appréciations contestables d’Étienne de Lusignan, a été reprise et diffusée dans la littérature historique contemporaine sans analyse approfondie.
