The papers in the present volume are designed to offer non-Italian scholars a representative sample of current European research and a summary of recent debates regarding the historical evolution of those republics that posed the most formidable obstacles to the extension of Florentine hegemony: Lucca, the earliest Tuscan city to rise to prominence on the basis of overland trade; Pisa, the principal maritime city of central Italy; and, finally, the wealthiest and most powerful commune to the south, Siena.
