About this book
A popular history of the Florentine Republic that can also serve as a guide on the spot, this 1900 volume belongs to a series called Mediaeval Towns. Edmund G. Gardner picks out the streets, buildings and works of art most tied to the city's story or most beautiful in themselves, and he gives weight to modern art criticism over old tradition. Lorenzo the Magnificent, Savonarola and Michelangelo figure among the lives he draws on. Nelly Erichsen supplied the illustrations, and Botticelli's Pallas taming a Centaur appears as one plate.
