More DescriptionOn the occasion of the quincentenary of the death of Lorenzo de' Medici, an interdisciplinary, international conference was held at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York in the spring of 1992. The previously unpublished papers (eleven in English and six in Italian) contained in this volume are the work of leading specialists in the fields of literature, history, philosophy, art, and music.
