Florence in the fifteenth century was the undisputed centre of the Itahan Renaissance : one of four exemplary ages in human history, according to Voltaire. What we have been derives largely from Jerusalem, Athens, Rome—and it was in Florence that these inheritances were blended to make us what we now are. Our Christianity, our learning, literature and art, our civic liberties and our very conception of what constitutes a gentleman, are all in high degree the result of ancient thought and practice re-moulded by Florentine mind and deed.
Vincent Cronin has presented this thesis with brilliant insight. He has studied the original sources with a fresh eye and laid bare the elements of this wonderful amalgam, into which entered not only those elements from the past already mentioned, but others of Florentine origin. For Florentine ingenuity in the invention of new techniques and the development of new hypotheses has been of enduring benefit to science, medicine, geography and cartography, as well as to the older arts of painting and calligraphy. A remarkable thematic choice of illustrations, some of them little known, helps greatly to bring to life the achievements of this immensely fruitful epoch in human history. Vissza
