By the sixteenth century, Florence was famous across Europe for its
achievements in the arts, letters, and humanist learning. Its
intellectual life flourished anew at midcentury with Duke Cosimo
and the Accademia Fiorentina. In this study, Ann Moyer provides an
overview of Florentine intellectual life and community in the late
Renaissance. She shows how studies of language helped Florentines
develop their own story as a people distinct from ancient Greece or
Rome, trace the rise of the city's medieval government, and explore
how the city evolved into a hospitable environment for letters and
the arts. Studies of Florentine art gave rise to art history, while
those devoted to Florentine traditions and customs inspired broader
questions about how to think about cultural change. Demonstrating
how the intellectual activity around language, history, and art
related and supported each other, Moyer's book documents the
origins of the modern narrative of the Renaissance itself.
