How did the evolution of new gunpowder weapons change the nature,
structure and composition of the Florentine militias during the
first decades of the sixteenth century? Through an examination of
little-known and unpublished sources, this book provides a
comparative exploration of two Florentine republican experiments
with a peasant militia: one promoted and created by Niccolo
Machiavelli (1506-12) and a later one (1527-30). Using this
comparison as the basis for a new reading of Machiavelli's Art of
War (which drew on the author's experience with the militia), the
book then investigates the relationship between the circulation and
reception of Machiavelli's influential work, changing conceptions
of militia, and the formation of new cultures of warfare in Europe
in the sixteenth century.
