by Tim Carter and Richard A. Goldthwaite

Published 4 November 2013

This record of Florentine musician Jacopo Peri's wide-ranging investments and activities in the marketplace enables the first detailed account of the Florentine economy in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and opens a completely new perspective on one of Europe's principal centers of capitalism.
