The Renaissance in Italy
This is the new ‘big book’ on the Italian Renaissance, and, as such, deserves to be taken seriously on the grounds of its overall vision, interpretation and scope. Its title invites comparison with Jacob Burckhardt’s Die Cultur der Renaissance in Italien (1860). By calling his a social history as well as a cultural one, however, the author, Guido Ruggiero, distinguishes his work from the Swiss historian’s genre-busting classic. Like Burckhardt’s,…
The ‘schemes’ of Piero de' Pazzi and the conflict with the Medici (1461–2)
This article opens up an important but overlooked chapter in the political and diplomatic history of Florence, as well as that of fifteenth-century Franco-Italian relations more broadly. In late 1461, the city of Florence elected ambassadors to go to France to congratulate King Louis XI on his accession to the throne. Intended as a purely ceremonial mission, the Florentine diplomat Piero de' Pazzi ignored his commission and pursued policies that …

Cipriano de' Mari's Lucianic speech for René of Anjou (St‐Dié, MS 37)
At the Castel Nuovo of Naples in February 1441, Cipriano de' Mari of Genoa featured as Scipio Africanus in a play based on one of Lucian's Dialogues of the Dead , which was performed for King René of Anjou. When the play was over, Cipriano gave a humanist speech in which he likened René to Scipio, and René's enemy, King Alfonso V of Aragon, to Hannibal. This speech, published for the first time here, contributes to our understanding of the cultur…
Absolutism in Renaissance Milan
The cover of Jane Black’s book is illustrated with a historiated initial (D: Psalm 53, Dixit insipiens) from the famous Visconti Hours of 1388: depicted in the initial are King David—representative of just rulership and, here, of the Milanese signore Giangaleazzo Visconti—tempted by a personified Insipiens, the fool, who from his knees petitions the monarch to overturn the law. The image captures the essential tension that this book explores: how…
