内容简介
The remarkable story of the Renaissance's preeminent financiers.
Their name is a by word for immense wealth and power, but before their renown as art patrons and noblemen the Medicis built their fort une on bankingspecifically, on lending money at interest. Banking in the fifteenth century, even at the height of the Renaissance, meant running afoul of the Catholic Church's pro hibit ion against usury. It required more than merely financial skills to make a profit, and the legendary Medicismost famously Cosimo and Lorenzo ("the Magnificent")were master ly in wielding the political, diplomatic, military, and even metaphysical tools that were needed to maintain their family's position.
In this brisk and witty narrative, Tim Parks uncovers the intrigues, dodges, and moral qualities that gave the Medicis their edge. Vividly evoking the richness of the Florentine Renaissance and the Medicis' glittering circle, replete with artists, popes, and kings, Medici Money is a brilliant look into the origins of modern banking and its troubled relationship with art and religion. 14 illustrations.
