The histories of six generations of the Strozzi, Gondi,
Guicciardini, and Capponi families are traced from the fifteenth to
the mid-sixteenth centuries by focusing on the family household as
defined by the economic bonds reflected in account books. These
four families were among the best known of the city's patriciate
and were influential in affairs of the city. Their histories serve
as case studies in seeking to determine the nature of the patrician
family as a specific kind of social institution and to assess its
importance in Florentine history. A concluding chapter attempts to
relate the changing composition of the family to the general
development of Renaissance civilization. Originally published in
1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
