N2  - Within the vast literature of the Renaissance this is the one indispensable book: for the student who wants a guide to take him through the complicated maze if Italian Renaissance political history; the scholar who needs a convenient, unified reference source; the art lover who wants to check facts and discover the background to the masterpieces of painting and sculpture; the traveller in Italy who wants to understand the great works of art and architecture in their context; and also the general reader who knows that the Renaissance is a fascinating and important historical and cultural epoch, and wants to find his way into it. In some 750 alphabetical entries the internationally eminent Renaissance scholar John Hale and his team of 30 distinguished co-authors cover every aspect of history and culture. There is a wealth of entries dealing with general themes, from history to humor, patronage to prostitution, technology to town planning, as well as the important names in music, art, science, literature, scholarship, politics and religion, towns and states, wars and treaties.
