Italy--History |
| Notes | This is a history of Italy in medieval times, about the creation of the city-states in the wake of the Roman Empire’s collapse, starting with the 6th century, that focuses on the Byzantine Empire and its most famous emperor, Justinian, who attempted to reconquer the former Western Roman Empire. [goodreads.com] In 1807 appeared the first volumes of the book, which, though his essay in political economy had brought him some reputation and the offer of a Russian professorship, first made Sismondi a prominent man among European men of letters. The completion of this book, which extended to sixteen volumes, occupied him, though by no means entirely, for the next eleven years. [wikipedia] |
