A pope, a king, and a banker, dead for nearly 500 years, hold the key to finding a relic stolen from the Holy Land, a relic that has killed more than once―year 541, Justinian Plague, 500 million dead―and one man, with the help of a beautiful assassin, can stop the coming apocalypse. It’s 1930, Yale University Anthropology Department, Dr. Fox Marshall is a young epidemiologist, an expert in plagues and the sixteenth century Italian Renaissance. His latest conspiracy theory links the Medici banks with a Neapolitan king and an indulgent Renaissance pope. While in his office one August evening, an intriguing yet mysterious woman, Tatya von Daliás, confronts him; her enticement, seven Medici Letters, letters which validate his Medici-King-Papacy triangle theory and also lead to a valuable Christian relic. She beguiles him into chasing the letters and boarding the freighter Jenny Rae for Europe, where he discovers he is not the only one seeking the Medici letters and the Holy Land relic.

The voluminous correspondence of Maria Salviati de' Medici. In recent years, there has been an upsurge of interest in Maria Salviati de' Medici, specifically, in her role in Medici governance and her relationships with other members of the Medici court. Maria Salviati's surviving correspondence documents a life spent close to the centers of Medici power in Florence and Rome, giving witness to its failures, resurrection, and eventual triumph. Presented here for the first time in English, this book is a representative sample of Maria's surviving letters that document her remarkable life through a tumultuous period of Italian Renaissance history. While she earned the exasperation of some, she gained the respect of many more. Maria ended her life as an influential dowager, powerful intercessor for local Tuscans of all strata, and wise elder in Duke Cosimo I's court. The first critical, analytical, biographical work on Maria Salviati de' Medici's life and letter-writing in English.

Journey to the 17th century to read letters of the famous Medici family. See how they maintained their power by arranging favorable marriages and pressuring others to attend to their desires. The letters are interesting, human and some even humorous. Dealing mostly with common-place subjects such as minor political intrigues, marriage arranging, financial gains, illness, law-suits, crime, and the like. The reader soon begins to develop a strange closeness to these characters and wishes to know more about their interesting lives. These 30 letters were first collected by an unknown Italian, then by the famous English collector Sir Thomas Phillipps, and finally by a doctor in a small town in Michigan. The doctor found a professor of Italian who translated the letters. Each letter writer is introduced with a brief biography followed by the English translation of the letter, an image of the address if an address is on the outside, then an image of the handwritten letter and finally a typed version of the letter in the now dead middle-ages Italian language.

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Medici Archives, Consisting of Rare Autograph Letters, Records and Documents, 1084-1770: Including One Hundred and Sixty-Six Holograph Letters of Lorenzo the Magnificent It will be noticed that almost all of Lorenzo's letters now before us are addressed to Pietro Alamanni, Florentine ambassador at Milan, and afterwards at Rome and Naples. The other papers composing the section whose presence here we have to explain are letters received by Lorenzo and sent on by him to Alamanni for reference, copies of Lorenzo's instructions to other ambassadors or of their despatches to him, the Florentine government's instructions to Alamanni, Alamanni's letter-books, and a few letters from Lorenzo to the Pope and other persons, which are probably duplicates. Lorenzo frequently wrote two copies of letters, and sent them by different routes for greater security. When both copies reached the ambassador he delivered one and kept the other. These papers were plainly the part of Alamanni's embassy-archives dating from the years May 1489 - April 1492. A modern diplomatist would not be allowed to take such documents home with him when he retired, but usage in these matters was different four centuries ago, and ambassadors treated official correspondence that remained in their hands as their own private property. Many instances might be mentioned, but perhaps the celebrated collection at Besancon, in which hundreds of signed letters from the Emperor Charles V. Have found a place because the ambassadors, members and connexions of the Granville family, to whom they were addressed, did not return them to the Imperial chancery, may suffice to Show that the practice was general.

Edward Goldberg shares his sensational discovery of the largest body of surviving correspondence from any Jew in Early Modern Europe. Over the course of six years, Benedetto Blanis — a scholar and entrepreneur in the Florentine Ghetto — wrote nearly 200 letters to his princely patron Don Giovanni dei Medici. For the first time, these letters are available in a definitive critical edition — with full transcriptions in the original Italian, English language summaries, and explanatory notes. This book is a companion volume to Jews and Magic in Medici Florence, in which Goldberg narrates Blanis's startling rise and fall. Readers can now take a step closer and hear Blanis's compelling story in his own words — tracing his fraught relations with Jews and Christians, his desperate (and often illegal) business schemes, his disastrous strategies for advancement at the Medici Court, and his pursuit of arcane knowledge, including astrology, alchemy, and Kabbalah.
