The articles in this volume re-evaluate and present to an
English-reading public the figure of Duke Cosimo I de' Medici
(1518-1572), the alleged destroyer of Florentine liberty and
republicanism. Although much maligned, especially in Italian and
English liberal/republican scholarship, the work demonstrates that
Duke Cosimo I was, in fact, an incredibly astute, successful, and
even benevolent ruler who, on being raised unexpectedly to power at
the young age of 17 during a particularly tense political moment,
managed not only to survive the immediate crisis, but also to
stabilize the situation, revive a dying state, double its
territory, and establish a dynasty that ruled for 200 years. This
work aims to illustrate these achievements within the broader
category of culture.
