Political Writings

"Like most chancellors of Florence in the late Middle Ages and the early Renaissance, Coluccio Salutati was born in the contado (as Florentine territory was then called) into a family of rather humble condition. This volume contains Salutati's De Tyranno, many of his state letters, Antonio Loschi's invective against the Florentines and Saluati's long reply to that invective, and Salutati's letter to Pietro Turchi"--Provided by publisher.
