Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the author's translation of Coluccio Salutati's fiery rebuttal of the false accusations and calumnies hurled by Giovanni da Lignano against the people of Florence. Lignano, a former Florentine, accused the city of despising the Church and failing to support it, and had petitioned the Pope, Clement VII residing in Avignon, to punish Florence for these supposed crimes. Salutati eloquently refutes each of Lignano's claims, proving that Florence was not only staunchly Catholic and loyal to the Pope, but also generous in its funding to the Church. Salutati argues that Lignano is a traitor to his city, and should not be believed. Coluccio Salutati's defense of his city is impassioned and detailed thereby providing a fascinating glimpse into the complex religious and political landscape of fourteenth-century Italy. Through Salutati's thoughtful work the reader can see the importance of contemporary perspectives, and the strength and tenacity of political convictions during a time of great upheaval.
