In his life, Giovanni di Paolo Rucellai (1403- 1481) was one of Florence’s most illustrious citizens. His fame has persisted over time, his accomplishments and vicissitudes often cited by historians interested in his city’s history. For Giovanni Rucellai, the most significant extant documentation is contained in his Zibaldone Quaresimale, whose compilation he began in 1457. This document contains a miscellany of advice Giovanni offered to his sons, and a variety of other documents. Now, for the first time, it is published in acomplete, philologically faithful edition, carefully prepared by Gabriella Battista. This magnificent text illuminates, as few other documents do, the often turbulent world of a member of Florence’s ruling class, who, for all his failures, left an indelible mark on his city’s urban fabric.
