The Merchant of Prato Author: Iris Origo

ISBN: 9780241293928 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 400 Published: 4 May 2017 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 19.9 x 13.0 x 2.4 Description: Iris Origo's most famous book, her classic study of the life and times of a medieval Italian merchant.

In 1870 an astonishing cache, containing some 150,000 letters and great numbers of business documents, came to light. Iris Origo drew on this material to paint, in detail, a picture of Italian domestic life on the eve of the Renaissance. Francesco di Marco Datini, the 14th-century Tuscan merchant who forms the central subject of Iris Origo's study, has now probably become the most intimately accessible figure of the later Middle Ages. The book is rightly celebrated as one of the most engrossing of all modern books on Italian life and history.
