Beschreibung:
The most prominent woman in Renaissance Florence, Lucrezia Tornabuoni de' Medici (1425-1482) lived during her city's golden age. 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 a collection of Lucrezia Tornabuoni de' Medici's body of religious poems. Ranging from lyrics on the Nativity to dialogues between Christ and the sinner who kneels before him, the nine poems of praise included here are among the few such poems known to have been written by the woman.
