Synopsis
In 1537 Alessandro de' Medici, Duke of Florence, was brutally stabbed to death by his cousin Lorenzino. Here we can examine the murderer's own defence of his actions in this jewel of Renaissance rhetoric., In 1537, Alessandro de' Medici, Duke of Florence, was brutally stabbed by his cousin Lorenzino. Here, for the first time in English, we can examine the murderer's own defense of his actions in this jewel of Renaissance rhetoric. In this compelling diatribe, Lorenzino de' Medici presents himself as worthy of comparison with some of the greatest heroes of classical Greece and Rome, purely motivated by love of liberty. His account, however, is generally assumed to be false, and Lorenzino's reputation is that of a brutal, amoral thug, the antihero of Alfred de Musset's drama Lorenzaccio . When the Medici regime was reinstated the same year as Alessandro's murder, Lorenzino's own assassination was ordered; here, dramatically paired with the Apology, is the fascinating account of Francesco Bibbone, Lorenzino's own murderer. Florentine nobleman and dramatist Lorenzino de' Medici is one of the most notorious figures of Renaissance Italy.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    I've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
