Lorenzo, A Drama of the Italian Renaissance
|
|
|
Seville, Spain: Graficas Del Sur. Fair. 1959. Soft Cover. From the jacket copy: "This play recreates Lorenzo De Medici against the magnificent world of the Italian Renaissance he helped create. Statesman, patron of art and learning, he was a vertiable fountainhead of all those things we have come to know as a man of the Renaissance...But of all his greatness, nothing could in his mind surpass his great flaw: Lorenzo was an ungly man. And it is this one intensely human and physical failing that gave his life a tragic simplicity in ont of the most edifying periods the world has ever known." The pages are all clean and intact, if somewhat yellowed with age, but the binding is very loose and the front cover is taped to the spine. . more information
