Book Description
The voluminous correspondence of Maria Salviati de' Medici. In recent years, there has been an upsurge of interest in Maria Salviati de' Medici, specifically, in her role in Medici governance and her relationships with other members of the Medici court. Maria Salviati's surviving correspondence documents a life spent close to the centers of Medici power in Florence and Rome, giving witness to its failures, resurrection, and eventual triumph. Presented here for the first time in English, this book is a representative sample of Maria's surviving letters that document her remarkable life through a tumultuous period of Italian Renaissance history. While she earned the exasperation of some, she gained the respect of many more. Maria ended her life as an influential dowager, powerful intercessor for local Tuscans of all strata, and wise elder in Duke Cosimo I's court. The first critical, analytical, biographical work on Maria Salviati de' Medici's life and letter-writing in English.

Book Description
Edward Goldberg shares his sensational discovery of the largest body of surviving correspondence from any Jew in Early Modern Europe. Over the course of six years, Benedetto Blanis — a scholar and entrepreneur in the Florentine Ghetto — wrote nearly 200 letters to his princely patron Don Giovanni dei Medici. For the first time, these letters are available in a definitive critical edition — with full transcriptions in the original Italian, English language summaries, and explanatory notes. This book is a companion volume to Jews and Magic in Medici Florence, in which Goldberg narrates Blanis's startling rise and fall. Readers can now take a step closer and hear Blanis's compelling story in his own words — tracing his fraught relations with Jews and Christians, his desperate (and often illegal) business schemes, his disastrous strategies for advancement at the Medici Court, and his pursuit of arcane knowledge, including astrology, alchemy, and Kabbalah.

Book Description
Journey to the 17th century to read letters of the famous Medici family. See how they maintained their power by arranging favorable marriages and pressuring others to attend to their desires. The letters are interesting, human and some even humorous. Dealing mostly with common-place subjects such as minor political intrigues, marriage arranging, financial gains, illness, law-suits, crime, and the like. The reader soon begins to develop a strange closeness to these characters and wishes to know more about their interesting lives. These 30 letters were first collected by an unknown Italian, then by the famous English collector Sir Thomas Phillipps, and finally by a doctor in a small town in Michigan. The doctor found a professor of Italian who translated the letters. Each letter writer is introduced with a brief biography followed by the English translation of the letter, an image of the address if an address is on the outside, then an image of the handwritten letter and finally a typed version of the letter in the now dead middle-ages Italian language.
