Barbaro, Emolao (1454-1493)

 
     
  A Venetian scholar-diplomat who in 1490 was sent as resident ambassador to Rome, a key post in the Venetian diplomatic service. De Officio Legati, the short book which he wrote while here, is notable for being the first literary account of the resident, as opposed to the special, envoy. It is also remarkable for being the first book on diplomacy to announce, albeit not in this phrase, the doctrine of raison d\'état.
