Lupi, Livia. Painting Architecture in Early Renaissance Italy
A voice of moderation
A close reading of Vespasiano’s Lives suggests that Vespasiano was neither a “pro” or “anti” Medici partisan, but rather that he tried to thread the political middle in fifteenth-century Florence. This article suggests that the actions of nineteenth and twenty-century editors of the Lives may have helped cloud later views of Vespasiano’s politics. In fact, Vespasiano disapproved of several changes made to the Florentine government under the Medic…

Humanism and Empire
Alexander Lee’s book argues for the centrality of the empire to late medieval politics and early humanist thought. Lee combines an impressive array of primary texts with detailed analyses that often reach from Antiquity to the early fifteenth century; from classical and patristic writers to Coluccio Salutati and Leonardo Bruni. This is a book that all scholars of learned culture and politics in late medieval and even early modern Europe will need…

Leonardo Bruni published one of his most widely copied translations, Xenophon's pro-monarchical Hiero, shortly before he penned his more famous original works, his Dialogues and Panegyric to the City of Florence.
