Sharon Strocchia shows how the rituals associated with death - especially civic funerals - reflected Florence's quick rise to commercial wealth in the 14th century and steady progression toward displays of princely power in the 15th and 16th centuries. Strocchia begins by examining the basic components of civic funerary rites and their symbolic meaning. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, she then traces the changes and continuities of these rites throughout the Renaissance. She shows how the rise of funeral pomp in the late fourteenth century was linked to social mobility, the redistribution of wealth, corporate politics, and the psychology of the post-plague decades. She analyzes the impact of "elitism, statism and civism" on civic and family rites after 1400 and charts the social effects of rising consumption trends. And she focuses on the complex cycles of change stemming from both the establishment and rejection of Medici control, which by entrenching patrician domination helped pave the way for the Medici principate.

This collection offers an integrative model for understanding health and healing in Europe and the Mediterranean from 1250-1550. By foregrounding gender as an organizing principle of healthcare, the contributors challenge traditional binaries that ahistorically separate care from cure, medicine from religion, and domestic healing from fee-for-service medical exchanges. The essays collected here illuminate previously hidden and undervalued forms of healthcare and varieties of body knowledge produced and transmitted outside the traditional settings of university, guild, and academy. They draw on non-traditional sources-vernacular regimens, oral communications, religious and legal sources, images and objects-to reveal additional locations for producing body knowledge in households, religious communities, hospices, and public markets. Emphasizing cross-confessional and multi-linguistic exchange, the essays also reveal the multiple pathways for knowledge transfer in these centuries. The volume provides a synoptic view of how gender and cross-cultural exchange shaped medical theory and practice in later medieval and Renaissance societies
