The times referred to are those of the golden years of the house of the Merdici, dating from the abatement of the democracy of the Communes, through the oligarchy and the Signoria as far as the Principate. From the Middle Ages right up to the Modern Age, there have been other banking and merchant families in Europe which have exceeded the Medicis in wealth and economic activity, but not one has outstripped them in the contribution they made to civilisation and their political acumen and the enlightened patronage which had its outlet in the culture of which Florence was lord and master. Soft cover in very fine condition. Text block clean and tight. Former owner's name stamp on top of front cover. Stated Second English Edition. Book has beautiful colored and black and white photographs.
