Dati the much married merchant
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
If readers find Pitti's memoir rambling and not very Florentine in its focus, they should turn instead to the revealing record book of Gregorio Dati, a Florentine merchant with multiple business ventures, wives, children, political offices, encounters with the plague, religious musings. An amazing and very important primary source for early 15th century Italian life. Try counting the wives, children and funerals.
Great Book!

The Buonaccorso Pitti diary gives a remarkable view into the day-to-day life of Tuscan nobility. It is even more amazing when one considers the subsequent history of his descendents, the house of Buonaccorsi di Pistoia.
