Lorenzino's treachery forced him into exile, however, and the Florentine senate accepted a compromise candidate, seventeen-year-old Cosimo dei Medici. The senate hoped Cosimo would act as figurehead, leaving the senate to manage political affairs. But Cosimo never acted as a puppet. Instead, by the time of his death in 1574, he had stabilized ducal finances, secured his borders while doubling his territory, attracted an array of scholars and artists to his court, academy, and universities, and, most importantly, dissipated the perennially fractious politics of Florentine life. Gregory Murry argues that these triumphs were far from a foregone conclusion. Drawing on a wide variety of archival and published sources, he examines how Cosimo and his propagandists successfully crafted an image of Cosimo as a legitimate sacral monarch. Murry posits that both the propaganda and practice of sacral monarchy in Cosimo's Florence channeled preexisting local religious assumptions as a way to establish continuities with the city's republican and renaissance past. In The Medicean Succession, Murry elucidates the models of sacral monarchy that Cosimo chose to utilize as he deftly balanced his ambition with the political sensitivities arising from existing religious and secular traditions.I Tatti Studies in Italian Renaissance HistoryMonarchyItalyTuscanyHistory16th centuryDivine right of kingsFlorence (Italy)Politics and government1421-1737Tuscany (Italy)Politics and government1434-1737Florence (Italy)Kings and rulersBiographyTuscany (Italy)Kings and rulersBiographyElectronic books.MonarchyHistoryDivine right of kings.945/.507092Murry Gregory1982-845717MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465058003321The Medicean succession1887981UNINA02853nam 2200589Ia 450 991077746300332120230124182401.01-280-83414-50-19-535083-9(CKB)1000000000415741(EBL)430652(OCoLC)428818219(SSID)ssj0000250421(PQKBManifestationID)12078241(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000250421(PQKBWorkID)10232677(PQKB)11413076(MiAaPQ)EBC430652(Au-PeEL)EBL430652(CaPaEBR)ebr10273115(CaONFJC)MIL83414(MiAaPQ)EBC7037633(Au-PeEL)EBL7037633(EXLCZ)99100000000041574119990504d2000 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrStages of thought[electronic resource] the co-evolution of religious thought and science /Michael Horace BarnesOxford ;New York Oxford University Press20001 online resource (345 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-19-513389-7 Includes bibliographical references (p. 298-322) and index.Contents; Introduction; 1 Culture and Cognition; 2 Addressing the Critics; 3 Cognitive Styles in Primitive Cultures; 4 Archaic Thought, Preliterate and Literate; 5 The Axial Age and the Classical Style of Thought; 6 Philosophy, Religion, and Science in Western Antiquity; 7 The Decline and Recovery of Classical Rationality in the West; 8 Early Modern Models of Reality in Science and Religion; 9 The Method of Modern Empirical Science; 10 Religious Responses to Modern Science; Notes; Bibliography; IndexIn Stages of Thought, Michael Barnes examines a pattern of cognitive development that has evolved over thousands of years--a pattern manifest in both science and religion. He describes how the major world cultures built upon our natural human language skills to add literacy, logic, and, now, a highly critical self-awareness. In tracing the histories of both scientific and religious thought, Barnes shows why we think the way that we do today. Although religious and scientific modes of thought are often portrayed as contradictory-one is highly rational while the other appeals to tradition and faReligion and scienceReligion and scienceHistoryReligion and science.Religion and scienceHistory.215291.1/75Barnes Michael Horace1560438MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777463003321Stages of thought3826398UNINA
