"A Renaissance perspective on what it is to be human."--Renaissance Quarterly "Phillips has enriched our understanding of Renaissance Florence by extensively presenting contemporary evidence from the diaries, letters & memoir."--Sunday Times "Marco Parenti was a moderately prosperous silk merchant in 15th-century Florence, decently educated, a responsible citizen, an amateur historian & a man with a leaning toward the natural sciences. Mark Phillips...is a scrupulous 20th-century scholar with a particular interest in why & how other men wrote history. The encounter between the two has resulted in an outstanding book...Parenti is marvelously vivid & endearing, in his study, in his warehouse, in his city, in a society where a man did not 'separate the prosperity of his soul from the health of his body or the wealth of his possessions'."--Penelope Fitzgerald, NY Times Book Review Mark Phillips is in the Department of History at the University of British Columbia.
