• "Cities change in time, but some periods are more formative than others in their long-term development ... no one could deny the importance of the city's Medieval and Early Renaissance development of the twelfth through fifteenth centuries ... it is the contention of this book that the first century of the Medici Grand Duchy in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries was another of these formative periods"--Introduction.
