Abstract:
Literally thousands of annals, chronicles, and histories were produced in Italy during the Middle Ages, ranging from fragments to polished humanist treatises. They become part of the very history they are describing. This book is composed of a set of case studies exploring the kinds of historical writing most characteristic of the period.
