Leonardo Bruni (1370-1444), the leading civic humanist of the
Italian Renaissance, served as apostolic secretary to four popes
(1405-1414) and chancellor of Florence (1427-1444). He was famous
in his day as a translator, orator, and historian, and was the
best-selling author of the fifteenth century. Bruni's "History of
the Florentine People" in twelve books is generally considered the
first modern work of history, and was widely imitated by humanist
historians for two centuries after its official publication by the
Florentine Signoria in 1442.
This third volume concludes the edition, the first to make the
work available in English translation. It includes Bruni's
"Memoirs," an autobiographical account of the events of his
lifetime, and cumulative indexes to the complete "History."
