The Italian City-State

This remarkable study of Italy before the Renaissance is the rich fruit of a lifetime's scholarship.

Klappentext
This book studies the history, unique in Europe, of the Renaissance and renascences in medieval Italy: the extraordinary revival, in a profoundly altered economic and social environment, of antique urbanity--the civilization and culture of city states. The paradox arose from a peculiar situation, a "double existence" part ancient, part medieval, that made Italy a singular combination of both social and cultural renaissance, and economic, capitalist revolution. In this fascinating and groundbreaking study, Philip Jones traces in detail the tension and interaction between the two traditions to their culmination in two rival regimes of communes and despots.


Zusammenfassung
This text covering the Italian city-state from 500 to 1300 should be of use to scholars and students of medieval and Renaissance Italy.
