Описание: In the 1290s a new guild-based Florentine government placed a group of noble families under severe legal restraints, on the grounds that they were both the most powerful and the most violent and disruptive element in the city. In this colorful portrayal of civic life in medieval Florence, Carol Lansing explores the patrilineal structure and functio

Hans Baron's Crisis of the Early Italian Renaissance is widely considered one of the most important works in Italian Renaissance studies. Princeton University Press published this seminal book in 1955. Now the Press makes available a two-volume collection of eighteen of Professor Baron's essays, most of them thoroughly revised, unpublished, or presented in English for the first time. Spanning the larger part of his career, they provide a continuation of, and complement to, the earlier book. The essays demonstrate that, contemporaneously with the revolution in art, modern humanistic thought developed in the city-state climate of early Renaissance Florence to a far greater extent than has generally been assumed. The publication of these volumes is a major scholarly event: a reinforcement and amplification of the author's conception of civic Humanism.
The book includes studies of medieval antecedents and special studies of Petrarch, Leonardo Bruni, and Leon Battista Alberti. It offers a thoroughly re-conceived profile of Machiavelli, drawn against the background of civic Humanism, as well as essays presenting evidence that French and English Humanism of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was closely tied to Italian civic thought of the fifteenth. The work culminates in a reassessment of Jacob Burckhardt's pioneering thought on the Renaissance. Originally published in 1988. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Описание: Peter Godman presents the first intellectual history of Florentine humanism from the lifetime of Angelo Poliziano in the later fifteenth century to the death of Niccolo Machiavelli in 1527. Making use of unpublished and rare sources, Godman traces the development of philological and official humanism after the expulsion of the Medici in 1494 up to

His discussion of this largely neglected period of Italian history shows that the eli
Описание: Michelangelo, Machiavelli, the Medicis. Explore the Florentine Renaissance, one of the most concentrated surges of creativity in the history of civilization in this enthralling book that brings the city to glorious life. A highly readable introduction to the Florentine Renaissance, blending the republic's political and economic tensions with tales of artistic creativity and innovation. Packed with fascinating color and detail, it's perfect for students and travelers to Florence who want to hit the ground running as well as for anyone interested in better understanding how the outsized impact of this remarkable city grew and ultimately faded, and why its power dimmed but its splendor endures. -organized as a unified, unfolding drama -presents Florence's history as a tragic struggle of republican liberty against tyranny -shows how the Renaissance city's art, architecture, and literature participate in that struggle -brings to life a panoply of vibrant individuals, both legendary and obscure -short enough, and gripping enough, to be read cover to cover during the time it takes to fly to Florence It was one of the most concentrated surges of creativity in the history of civilization. Between 1390 and 1537, Florence poured out an astonishing stream of magnificent works by artists, sculptors, and architects. But Florentines did more during this brief period than create masterpieces. As citizens of a fractious republic threatened from below, without, and within, they also were driven to reimagine the political and ethical basis of their world, exploring the meaning and possibilities of liberty, virtue, and beauty. This vibrant era and its legendary artistic and political figures are brought to life in rich detail by noted historian Lawrence Rothfield. He traces the concern for liberty and virtue that first arose in the medieval commune, shaped by the fierce competition and explosive class conflicts of a precocious capitalist society. But it took a dramatic threat to the republic from an expansionist tyrant to spark the Renaissance by forcing the humanist intellectuals advising Florence's merchant governing elite to turn to the ancient Roman Republic for models of anti-tyrannical virtue and ideas of liberty. The ensuing rage for things classical was understood by the Florentines as a rebirth of Roman ways, not a liberation from the past. Indeed, as an ideology it aimed at suppressing dissent beneath a veneer of consensus, civic self-sacrifice, and respect for parents. Yet under its guise Florentines would begin to pose new questions, envision new ideals, and set new tasks for themselves, spawning a vibrant cultural and political life filled with memorable individuals and unique opportunities for audacious risk-taking, teetering between serene beauty and shocking violence. Ultimately, this dynamic would end with the republic destroyed by the forces it had unleashed. The Measure of Man tells the story of Florence's rise and fall, tracing the tragic arc running from the cultural heights of republican idealism in the early fifteenth century, through the aesthetic flowerings and civic vicissitudes of the age of the Medici and Savonarola, to the brooding meditations of Machiavelli and Michelangelo over the fate of the dying republic.
As you make your way through "The Renaissance of Imagination," you'll have the opportunity to explore works by artists from Donatello to Botticelli that span Florence's greatest century of art. But you won't find the usual discussions about the dating of particular works, or why a certain painting is considered "important" in the evolution of Western art, or how much was done by the master and how much by his workshop, or who influenced whom. Instead you'll have the opportunity to contemplate these masterpieces of Florentine art in ways that enable you to appreciate their beauty, depth and brilliance more fully. The facts of history, iconography and biography are fully respected, but it is the works of art themselves that are here given the final word. If the Italian Renaissance has ever captured your interest and fired your imagination, this book has been written for you. (59 Full-color Images)
The book is a collection of nine quantitative studies - each probing one aspect of Renaissance Florentine economy and society. These are organized into three parts by topic, source material and analysis methods. Part one, on risk and return, contains two chapters. Chapter 1 studies Florentine plague outbreaks. Recent work has highlighted the incompatibility of evidence from written records with medical evidence. The chapter reconciles these approaches by using financial market evidence to interpret the written records. The next chapter examines a commonly used interest rate time series for Renaissance Florence. Significant literature has evolved during the past quarter century that measures interest rates to assess state formation trends in late medieval and early modern Europe. This chapter links financial theory and medieval law to better measure the Florentine interest rate, showing that the interest rate evidence used to date must be reconsidered.
The second part examines Florentine society. This part shows how Florentine occupations can be separated into two categories by comparing wealth levels and distributions; demonstrates that the architectural and artistic explosion during the mid-fifteenth century was the result of a subsidy - a tax loophole that exempted the home and its furnishings from an significant new tax, leading to a transfer of assets into art and architecture; finds that Florentine neighbourhoods remained integrated between the mid-fourteenth and late fifteenth centuries; and provides evidence that the modern life-cycle curve of wealth accumulation might not have held true in Renaissance Florence.
The final part looks at work - focusing specifically on the wool industry. It examines the historical structure of Florentine firms and offers a wide range of evidence to demonstrate that the industry's firms were small and perfectly competitive with little monopoly power. It also demonstrates the value of dynamic data in understanding women's work during the late medieval and early modern periods. Finally, it shows that the foundation of the Florentine cloth industry reduced the risk facing the individual company by relying on a combination of a guild organization and the putting-out production system - both systems that are rejected by economic theory as hopelessly inefficient.
