Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the writings of Franco Sacchetti, especially his views on war and peace. Medieval Florence was marked by relentless civil and foreign conflicts. Sacchetti, a merchant by profession and a diplomat at times, was a man of peace; a view that he expresses throughout his writings, especially in twelve sonnets titled "Pro Pace." Here, the author presents his case against war and military adventurism, blaming them for the frequent loss of men and their property, and towns destroyed. His ideas about military conflicts echo ideas from Ancient Greece and Rome, as well as religious views that emphasize peace. He also believes that while rulers use war to increase their power, common people suffer. Readers interested in the social and political conditions of 14th-century Italy, and issues of war and peace will find this an illuminating read. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
