Summary:

"This is the first scholarly study covering the history of Lucca and the entire Lucchese region from classical antiquity to the end of the fifteenth century. At one level, it is an archive-based study of a highly distinctive political community; at another, it is designed as a contribution to current discussions on power-structures, the history of the state, and the differences between city-states and the new territorial states that were emerging in Italy by the fourteenth century."--Page 4 of cover.
