The recent discovery of a large number of private account books belonging to him and his family allows for a greater exploration of Peri's professional and personal life. Richard Goldthwaite, an economic historian, and Tim Carter, a musicologist, have done more, however, than write a biography: their investigation exposes the value of such financial documents as a primary source for an entire period. This record of Peri's wide-ranging investments and activities in the marketplace enables the first detailed account of the Florentine economy in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and opens a new perspective on one of Europe's principal centers of capitalism. His economic circumstances reflect continuities and transformations in Florentine society, and the strategies for negotiating them, under the Medici grand dukes. They also allow a reevaluation of Peri the singer and composer that elucidates the cultural life of a major artistic center even in changing times, providing a quite different view of what it meant to be a musician in late Renaissance Italy. 410 0$aI Tatti Studies in Italian Renaissance History 606 $aComposers$zItaly$vBiography 606 $aComposers$zItaly$zFlorence$xEconomic conditions$y16th century 606 $aComposers$zItaly$zFlorence$xEconomic conditions$y17th century 606 $aFinance, Personal$zItaly$zFlorence$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aFinance, Personal$zItaly$zFlorence$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aFlorence (Italy)$xEconomic conditions$y16th century 607 $aFlorence (Italy)$xEconomic conditions$y7th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aComposers 615 0$aComposers$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aComposers$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aFinance, Personal$xHistory 615 0$aFinance, Personal$xHistory 676 $a782.1092 686 $aLQ 81603$2rvk 700 $aCarter$b Tim$f1954-$01006609 701 $aGoldthwaite$b Richard A$0168044 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453346403321 996 $aOrpheus in the marketplace$92316824 997 $aUNINA
