About this book
Siena's republic and the hill town of San Gimignano share this 1902 volume in the Mediaeval Towns series, which serves as both a popular history and a guide to the city. Edmund G. Gardner gives chapters to Saint Catherine, the Petrucci family, Sienese painters and sculptors, the Campo with the Palace of the Commune, the Duomo and Baptistery, and the city's convents and monasteries.
The last two chapters turn to San Gimignano, whose past, he notes, runs closer to Florence's than to Siena's. Helen M. James drew many of the illustrations, and the book is dedicated to her memory.
