Book Description

Giovanni Villani’s New Chronicle traces the history of Europe, Italy, and Florence over a vast sweep of time – from the Tower of Babel to the great earthquake of 1348. In the eleventh and twelfth books, Villani depicts a particularly eventful period in the history of Florence, whose grandeur is illustrated in several famous chapters describing the city’s income, expenses, and magnificence. The dramatic account follows Florence’s internal affairs as well as its conflicts with powerful lords like Castruccio Castracani and Mastino della Scala. The chronicler’s perspective, however, ranges beyond his city, as he documents such events as the imperial coronation of Louis of Bavaria, the penitential pilgrimage of Venturino da Bergamo, and the first campaigns of the Hundred Year’s War.

Book Description

"This new collection of medieval documents spanning the years 300-1350 emphasizes the breadth and richness of the lives of medieval men. As the author is careful to point out, many familiar documents will be sought here in vain. Those chosen, far from being atypical or obscure, illustrate clearly important aspects of life in the Middle Ages--in government, commerce, communications, the social order, the ascetic life, the monastic and mendicant orders, the secular clergy, literature, the universities, and the popular mind."--Back cover.
