Old Saybrook, CT: Konecky and Konecky. first thus. hardcover. 8vo 559pp. from front flap: "Serious consideration of the Renaissance can be said to have begun with Jacob Burckhardt's magisterial work The Renaissance in Italy. Burckhardt immersed himself in the study of the Renaissance, reading virtually every primary source available from a period that ranges from Dante to Michelangelo. His synthesis of literature, philosophy, art and architecture launched the discipline of cultural history; and his persuasive account of the social and political forces that shaped Italy of this time has served as a benchmark for generations of historians."
