Wife of Piero de' Medici and mother of Lorenzo the Magnificent, Tornabuoni exerted considerable influence on Florence's political and social affairs. She was also, as this volume illustrates, a gifted and prolific poet. This is the first major collection in any language of her extensive body of religious poems. Ranging from gentle lyrics on the Nativity to moving dialogues between a crucified Christ and the weeping sinner who kneels before him, the nine laudi (poems of praise) included here are among the few such poems known to have been written by a woman. Tornabuoni's five storie sacre, narrative poems based on the lives of biblical figures-three of whom, Judith, Susanna, and Esther, are Old Testament heroines-are virtually unique in their range and expressiveness. Together with Jane Tylus's substantial introduction, these poems offer us both a fascinating portrait of a highly educated and creative woman and a lively sense of cultural and social life in Renaissance Florence. 410 0$aOther voice in early modern Europe. 606 $aReligious poetry, Italian$vTranslations into English 610 $aitaly, italian, history, historical, academic, scholarly, research, renaissance, time period, era, florence, florentine, medici family, royalty, royals, class, ruler, famous, well known, golden age, city, urban, 1400s, poetry, poetic, religion, religious, faith, belief, god, lyric, nativity, dialogue, christ, crucifixion, old testament, heroine, widow, judas, john the baptist, queen esther. 615 0$aReligious poetry, Italian 676 $a851/.2 700 $aTornabuoni$b Lucrezia$f1425-1482.$0162704 701 $aTylus$b Jane$f1956-$01518827 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785080103321 996 $aSacred narratives$93756597 997 $aUNINA
