Debts, Dowries, Donkeys: The Diary of Niccolo Machiavelli's Father, Messer Bernardo, in Quattrocento Florence: 5 (Dialoghi / Dialogues Literatur Und Kultur Italiens Und Frankreichs) - Softcover
The starting-point for this study of messer Bernardo, father of the statesman and humanist Niccolò Machiavelli, is the diary he wrote over a period of thirteen years (1474-1487). Drawing upon many further sources, including Bernardo's will, tax records and genealogies, the first in-depth investigation of the 'libro di ricordi' reconstructs a panorama of everyday life during a fascinating period of the history of Florence. Topics explored include Machiavelli family history, household economy, wedding rites and Bernardo's interest in books and printing. This study is invaluable for an understanding of Niccolò's intellectual and family background. Four case-studies examine how messer Bernardo dealt with disputes and reveal the medieval roots of behaviour and mentality in Quattrocento Florence.

Review:
«Das...auf englisch erschienene und somit auch für die internationale Forschung leicht verfügbare Werk liest sich mit viel Gewinn. Dies ist um so mehr der Fall, als seine Autorin, Catherine Atkinson, einen interdisziplinären Ansatz gewählt hat und nicht nur historisch, sondern literaturgeschichtlich vorgeht. [...] Atkinson hat Messer Bernardo zu seinem historischen Recht verholfen.» (Georg Christoph Berger Waldenegg, Das Historisch-Politische Buch)
