Felice comes alive in his important chronicle which is carefully glossed by the author, who also offers the reader a bold, new interpretation of Masaccio?s Tribute Money.? - Paul Barolsky, Professor Emeritus, University of Virginia, USA This book is the first English translation of Felice di Michele Brancacci?s diary of his 1422 mission to the court of Sultan Al-Ashraf Seyf-ad-Din Barsbay of Egypt. Following the purchase of Port of Pisa in 1421, and the building of a galley system, Florence went on to assume a more active role in Levant trade, and this rich text recounts the maiden voyage of the Florentine galleys to Egypt. The text portrays the transnational experiences of Brancacci including those between the East and West, Christians and Muslims, and the ancient and modern worlds. The accompanying critical introduction discusses the unexpected motifs in Brancacci?s voyage, as well as tracing the aftershocks of what was a traumatic Egyptian experience for him. It shows that this aftershock was then measured, captured, and memorialized in the iconic image of Tribute Money, the fresco he commissioned from Masaccio, on his return to his own world in Florence. . 606 $aEurope?History?476-1492 606 $aAfrica, North?History 606 $aSocial history 606 $aItaly?History 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aHistory of Medieval Europe$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717070 606 $aHistory of North Africa$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/714010 606 $aSocial History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000 606 $aHistory of Italy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717050 606 $aEconomic History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000 615 0$aEurope?History?476-1492. 615 0$aAfrica, North?History. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aItaly?History. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 14$aHistory of Medieval Europe. 615 24$aHistory of North Africa. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aHistory of Italy. 615 24$aEconomic History. 676 $a342.62020269 676 $a910.45092 700 $aYousefzadeh$b Mahnaz$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0475329 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299791103321 996 $aFlorence's Embassy to the Sultan of Egypt$92540710 997 $aUNINA
