Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This 14th-century chronicle offers an unvarnished window into the turbulent political and social landscape of medieval Bologna and the surrounding Romagna region. The author, whose identity remains shrouded in mystery, meticulously records events from 1350 to 1353, providing granular detail on battles, alliances, economic crises, natural disasters, and the vagaries of everyday life in an era of upheaval. The fragmented nature of the text, with its abrupt shifts in subject matter and frequent gaps in the narrative, mirrors the chaotic times it depicts, adding to its authenticity and immediacy. In addition to military campaigns and dynastic struggles, the chronicle also delves into social customs, economic conditions, and the impact of natural calamities. It charts the devastating effects of famines and plagues, the fluctuations in the value of currency, and the construction of fortifications and public works. Through it, we glimpse the lives of ordinary citizens as well as the machinations of powerful families such as the Pepoli and Visconti, their rivalries and feuds shaping the course of events. What emerges from this chronicle is a vivid and multifaceted portrait of a society in flux, where change and continuity coexist, and the seeds of future conflicts and transformations are sown. The author's keen eye for detail and unsparing documentation make this chronicle an invaluable source for historians and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of medieval Italian history.
