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.
' Professor Benes has done scholars and students an enormous service by creating a well-supported and clear version of an important chronicle. Her smooth translation of complex medieval Latin and substantial notes make Jacopo da Varagine' s account accessible and enjoyable. [. . . ] A review can only hint at the expanse and richness of this work. ' Alison Williams Lewin, The Medieval Review -- .
