The Wealth of Wives A FifteenthCentury Marriage Manual Zusammenfassung

The Wealth of Wives A FifteenthCentury Marriage Manual Francesco Barbaro

In 1415, Francesco Barbaro produced a marriage manual intended at once for his friend,a scion of the Florentine Medici family, and for the whole set of his peers, the young nobilityof Venice. Counteringthe trends of the day toward dowry chasing and dowry inflation,Barbaro insisted that the real wealth of wives was their capacity to conceive, birth, andrear children worthy of their heritage. Thesuccess of the patriciate depended, ironically, onwomen: for they alone could ensure the biological, cultural, and spiritual reproduction oftheir marital lineage. The Wealth of Wives circulated in morethan 100 manuscript versions,five Latin editions, and translations into German, Italian, French, and English, far outstrippingin its influence Leon Battista Albertis On the Family (1434).

The Wealth of Wives A FifteenthCentury Marriage Manual Bewertungen

Barbaros work is such an important and influential work on marriage and women that it issurprising that it has not been translated earlier. But the wait was worth it. Margaret Kingprovides a fluent, clear,and accurate translation. Moreover, as a supremely knowledgeablehistorian on Barbaro, Renaissance women, and Venice, she describes very well thehistorical circumstances of the work, thecontext of Renaissance humanism, and Venetianpolicies and practices. She also provides a great deal of information concerning the diffusionand influence of Barbaros work. Scholars will besurprised to learn that Erasmus, JuanLuis Vives, and practically every other Renaissance commentator on women and marriageborrowed from or was influenced by this book. This is a very welcomeaddition to a distinguishedseries.
