Synopsis

This volume, continuing the series begun with The World of Ancient Rome, which has met with the highest praise, has been published to conform to the same high standards and with the same purpose in view. The World of Renaissance Florence aims, in fact, to reconstruct, with the greatest scientific accuracy, the daily life and the great intellectual and artistic experiences of a society which has so often been the object of the most widely differing interpretations. We have also been concerned to offer to the public a truly living picture of the civilisation of the Renaissance in the city which was its cradle, captured in all its forms and in all its manifestations, at the various levels of its economic, political and cultural activities, and in the humble, productive labour of its artisans and its working classes. For this reason the story, which is a collaboration of the most eminent authorities, is illustrated by a wealth of documentary material, without, however, following the usual pattern of art books.
