The Point of Honor in Sixteenth Century Italy: An Aspect of the Life of a Gentleman by Frederick Robertson Bryson. Publications of the Institute of French Studies, Inc, Columbia University, NY. 1936. First Edition. Hardcover cloth bound book with gilt lettering. Cloth covers have decorative embossing in a leafy pattern.>>>>> A fascinating sociological and historical monograph on the concept of honor and how it was manifested in the social life of upper class men in 16th century Italy, abrogations of honor playing a central role in disputes and conflict. The author details the complex code of honor that prevailed during this period, and violations of honor (insults, resentment, etc), and how they were recompensed and negotiated. A great find for students of the Italian renaissance. CONDITION -- VERY GOOD -- This is a previously owned book. Covers have some mild crimping and abrasion to spine extremities, and light fraying to corners. End-papers are toned; front free end-paper has offsetting. Page edges are mildly toned. Interior is clean, fresh and unmarked. A crisp, solid and attractive book.…
