Description
Book SynopsisUnfairly maligned for over five centuries, Giuliano de’Medici at last receives his first major and sustained biography.
Trade Review"A provocative new interpretation of Giuliano's political thinking and a welcome addition to Florentine historiography that clarifies the means through which the myth of the Medici was created and disseminated." Guido Rebecchini, The Courtauld Institute of Art
"Jungic weaves Giuliano's adult life into the lives of his important contemporaries—including Machiavelli, Cesare Borgia, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo—whom Giuliano knew and with whom he worked on notable projects. The result is a blend of firmly documented history and plausible speculation that is blatantly meant to counter other historians' characterizations of or conclusions about Giuliano. Well handled and of great interest to specialists, this is a book for those familiar with the people and events presented. Recommended." Choice
"Jungic's remarkable book needs to be taken seriously by Machiavelli scholars and Italian Renaissance historians alike." Journal of Interdisciplinary History
