- Comments: The spine of a book is often the first to show signs of aging and frequent use, bearing the weight of repeated opening and closing. This wear might manifest as creases, cracks, or even partial detachment, but it also signifies that the book has been well-loved and thoroughly read. Such physical characteristics add a layer of history and character to the book, distinguishing it from pristine, untouched copies.

SUMMARY
No wide-ranging consideration of the life and career of Cosimo 'il Vecchio' de' Medici has been published since 1938. This book grows out of a scholarly symposium organized by the Society for Renaissance Studies for the sexcentenary of Cosimo de' Medici's birth. The symposium, held in 1989, focused on the character, political interests and art-patronage of arguably the greatest statesman of early Renaissance Italy. With an introduction by Sir Ernst Gombrich, the essays discuss various facets of Cosimo's personality, political and cultural activities, his wit, his relations with the Popes of his time, his literary interests, his patronage of church building and fine arts, and finally the imagery of his tomb.Ames-Lewis, Francis is the author of 'Cosimo "il Vecchio" de' Medici, 1389-1464: Essays in Commemoration of the 600th Anniversary of Cosimo de' Medici's Birth: Including papers delivered at ... the Warburg Institute, London, 19 May 1989', published 1992 under ISBN 9780198173946 and ISBN 0198173946.
