More stuff on Medicis?

by RickFishman

So I just read this awesome book about the Pazzi conspiracy to assassinate the Medici, called April Blood. Does anyone have recommendations for other books about Lorenzo Medici specifically but also, more generally, the history of the Medici and/or political histories of Florence? Thanks in advance!

Late response but I can suggest a few.

Pazzi Conspiracy

  • The Pazzi Conspiracy: The Plot Against the Medici - Harold Acton

Lorenzo de Medici

  • The Life of Lorenzo de Medici - William Roscoe

  • Lorenzo the Magnificent - Hugh Ross Williamson

  • Magnifico: The Brilliant Life and Violent Times of Lorenzo de' Medici - Miles J. Unger

The Medici Dynasty

  • Florence and the Medici - J.R. Hale

  • The Rise and Fall of the House of Medici - Christopher Hibbert

  • The Rise and Decline of the Medici Bank 1397-1494 - Raymond de Roover

  • The Government of Florence under the Medici, 1434–1494 - Nicolai Rubinstein

  • The Medici: Power, Money, and Ambition in the Italian Renaissance - Paul Strathern

  • Death in Florence: The Medici, Savonarola, and the Battle for the Soul of a Renaissance City - Paul Strathern

  • Medici Money: Banking, Metaphysics, and Art in Fifteenth-Century Florence - Tim Parks

  • The Tragedies of the Medici - Edgcumbe Staley

I'm not sure about the availability or price of some, but Paul Strathern's ones are probably the best place to start.
