Jews and State Building
This volume aims to shed new light on the history of the Jews in Italy between the early modern period and the emergence of a unified Italian state, explicitly placing Jews within the history of the state-building process. It seeks to reconsider Jewish history systematically by stressing the relation of Jews and the state and to trace how Jews and their communities were reshaped in the early modern period.
Electing the Pope in Early Modern Italy, 1450-1700
Electing the Pope in Early Modern Italy, 1450-1700 offers a radical reassessment of the history of early modern papacy, constructed through the first major analytical treatment of papal elections in English. Papal elections, with their ceremonial pomp and high drama, are compelling theater, but, until now, no one has analyzed them on the basis of the problems they created for cardinals: how were they to agree rules and enforce them? How should they manage the interregnum? How did they decide for whom to vote? How was the new pope to assert himself over a group of men who, until just moments before, had been his equals and peers? This study traces how the cardinals' responses to these problem...

La mirada de Maquiavelo
La mirada de Maquiavelo sobre la realidad permite ver cosas que sus contemporáneos no veían, como la naturaleza del comportamiento colectivo, el carácter mental de los vínculos políticos y religiosos, o la importancia de la opinión en el gobierno de los Estados. El hilo conductor de esta “biografía cognitiva” es la investigación de Maquiavelo: su forma de identificar y construir objetos de búsqueda a lo largo del tiempo. Nacido de la constatación de que Maquiavelo constituye un caso histórico paradójicamente aún poco explorado, este estudio plantea cuestiones hasta ahora nunca investigadas sobre la obra del secretario florentino y abre una serie de nuevas vías sobre sus fuentes, su manera de acercarse al nuevo mundo y su forma de concebir prácticas intelectuales como la lectura y la escritura. Lo que se propone aquí es un cambio de perspectiva: ya no se trata de interrogar a Maquiavelo sobre su identidad política o religiosa, sino de comprender cómo, al interpretar la realidad, contribuye a la emergencia de un saber específicamente dedicado al hombre en sociedad.

Communication and Conflict
Diplomacy has never been a politically-neutral research field, even when it was confined to merely reconstructing the backgrounds of wars and revolutions. In the nineteenth century, diplomacy was integral to the grand narrative of the building of the modern 'nation-State'. This is the first overall study of diplomacy in Early Renaissance Italy since Garrett Mattingly's pioneering work in 1955. It offers an innovative approach to the theme of Renaissance diplomacy, sidestepping the classic dichotomy between medieval and early modern, and re-considering the whole diplomatic process without reducing it to the 'grand narrative' of the birth of resident embassies. Communication and Conflict situa...
