2011 Rens Roll Call!
Menang:
Wow, Ferrara? We haven't done much yet, and my personal reading so far has focused more of Florence, so I can't say.
Russ?
LeahT:
It's a small kind of independant city-state within the Papal States. I only chose it for part of the assignment because I didn't wanna pick a state we go into a lot of detail about soon. Turns out it's harder than I thought, but I found the info I needed, so don't worry now =D
Russ:
I'm late but the only two things I know that will be much use are the Council of Ferrara/Florence and the fact that it was instrumental to the Venice/Papacy war and the Tiepoline Conspiracy in 1310
LeahT:
Thanks, I did make those points in the assignment actually. I'm at least glad to hear I was on the right track xD
Also, a general question; what text book are you guys using? Did you have any other reccomended study guides or texts? I'm trying to get a wide range of sources so that I can examine different view points etc.

We use Robert Hole's Renaissance Italy as our main overview book.
My teacher photocopies a lot of extra reading for different point of views. I've never been a believer in buying extra study guides, but my school library has a ton of extra books on the Renaissance in Italy which has so far proved helpful. Currently I'm reading Christopher Hibbert's The Rise and Fall of the house of Medici which is actually really readable and informative. (Incidentally, Hibbert is also a historian of the French Revolution for all the Revs kids interested).
I also bought Patricia Brown's Art and Life in Renaissance Venice, which was on the school booklist, but we haven't looked at that yet.
