The Medici

G.F. Young

4.9/5 (20995 ratings)

Description:The legends which have clustered about the most notable family in history are as various as the imaginations and prejudices of historians. Sinister crimes, magnificent liberalities, prodigal sponsorship of the arts, religious and orgiastic excesses have been attributed indiscriminately to the Medicis. It remained for Colonel G.F. Young to sift the proven facts from the exaggerations and to present a history so authentic and yet so colorful that its truth is more enthralling than all the fictions the centuries have allowed to accumulate around the most fabulous family of the Renaissance."There are in English several histories of three or four of the more important members of the Medici family; but there is none, either in Italian or English, of that family as a whole, the history of no less than nine out of thirteen generations having remained hitherto unwritten.…"My aim has been to write of them as a family--their rise, their 'course upon the mountain-tops of power,' and their decline and end--and to keep the parts always in subordination to the whole." -- from the PrefaceWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
