Philippidis, Jeannette Plaut, Jilly Traganou.

in recent years, the seventeen essays in this Companion to Cosimo I
de' Medici provide a fresh and systematic overview of the life and
career of the first Grand Duke of Tuscany, with special emphasis on
Cosimo I's education and intellectual interests, cultural policies,
political vision, institutional reforms, diplomatic relations,
religious beliefs, military entrepreneurship, and dynastic
concerns. Contributors: Maurizio Arfaioli, Alessio Assonitis,
Nicholas Scott Baker, Sheila Barker, Stefano Calonaci, Brendan
Dooley, Daniele Edigati, Sheila ffolliott, Catherine Fletcher,
