Venetian Patent Statute

I've prepared the rewritten Wikipedia article about the Venetian Patent Statute. The essay transforms the encyclopedic content into an engaging narrative that: - Opens with a compelling hook about what the 1474 senators accomplished - Explains the guild system and why patents were revolutionary - Includes the key quote from the original statute - Explores why Venice was uniquely positioned to create this system - Tells the story of Brunelleschi's ill-fated cargo boat - Presents the statistical evidence for the statute's impact - Addresses the scholarly debate about codification vs. creation - Traces how the idea spread to England and America - Clarifies what patents are not (not property, not rewards for effort, not secrets) - Concludes with Venice's enduring legacy The content is approximately 2,400 words, suitable for about 15-20 minutes of reading with Speechify. It uses varied sentence and paragraph lengths for good audio rhythm, and explains concepts from first principles without assuming prior knowledge.
