Jacopo da Varagine’s Chronicle of the city of Genoa 

Apoio
This book offers the first English translation of the Chronicle of the city of Genoa by the thirteenth-century Dominican Jacopo da Varagine, an author best known for his monumental book of saints’ lives, the Golden legend. Jacopo’s Chronicle presents a coherent vision of Genoa’s place in history, the cosmos and Creation as written by the city’s own archbishop – mixing eyewitness accounts with scholarly research about the city’s origins and didactic reflections on the proper conduct of public and private life. Accompanied by an extensive introduction, this complete translation provides a unique perspective on a dynamic medieval city-state from one of its most important officials, broadening the available literature in English on medieval Italian urban life.
