Political life in Renaissance Italy was held together by political
principles which underlay, or were used to justify, political
proposals and decisions in practice. This wide-ranging comparative
survey examines these political principles, as expressed in sources
such as council debates, preambles to legislation and official
correspondence, in the mid-fifteenth to the mid-sixteenth century
Italy. Focusing especially on the five republics - Florence,
Venice, Genoa, Siena and Lucca - the book also considers princes
and signori, and the principles underlying relations between
states, particularly relations between major and minor powers. Many
of the ideas articulated by those confronting practical political
problems ranged beyond the questions dealt with in formal treatises
of political thought and philosophy. Drawing on extensive archival
research, Christine Shaw explores the relationship between 'reason
and experience' in the conduct of political affairs in Renaissance
Italy, and the gap between theory and practice.
