But there is one figure whose substantial contributions to Machiavelli's restoration has been hitherto neglected - Lorenzo di Filippo Strozzi (1482-1549), a younger and fabulously wealthy Florentine nobleman. As manuscript evidence suggests, Strozzi brought Machiavelli into his patronage network and aided many of his post-1520 achievements.This book is the first English biography of Strozzi, as well as the first examination of the patron-client relationship that developed between the two men. William J. Landon reveals Strozzi's influence on Machiavelli through wide-ranging textual investigations, and especially through Strozzi's Pistola fatta per la peste - a work that survives as a Machiavelli autograph, and for which Landon has provided the first ever complete English translation and critical edition. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies. 606 $aPlague in literature 606 $aAuthors, Italian$y16th century$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPlague in literature. 615 0$aAuthors, Italian 676 $a853/.3 700 $aLandon$b William J.$f1974-$0920545 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463491003321 996 $aLorenzo di Filippo Strozzi and Niccolo Machiavelli$92125354 997 $aUNINA
