Books, people, and military thought: Machiavelli's Art of War and the fortune of the militia in sixteenth-century Florence and Europe
In: Thinking in extremes volume 3
"How did the evolution of new gunpowder weapons change the nature, structure and composition of the Florentine militias during the first decades of the sixteenth century? Via an examination of little-known and unpublished sources, this book provides a comparative exploration of two Florentine republican experiments with a peasant militia: one promoted and created by Niccolò Machiavelli (1506-12) and a later one (1527-30). Using this comparison as the basis for a new reading of Machiavelli's Art of War (which drew on the author's experience with the militia), the book then investigates the relationship between the circulation and reception of Machiavelli's influential work, changing conceptions of militia, and the formation of new cultures of warfare in Europe in the sixteenth century."--
Armi proprie" e machiavellismo militare: con alcune note sul concetto di "autore" nella trattatistica del Cinquecento

La circolazione dell'Arte della guerra di Machiavelli ha dato un fondamentale contributo allo sviluppo della cultura militare europea in volgare del Cinquecento. Questo saggio analizza alcuni specifici aspetti della ricezione di quest'opera nella produzione scrittoria militare del tempo e in particolare si concentra su quegli elementi di pensiero legati al tema delle "armi proprie" fortemente propagandato dal libro machiavelliano. A questo proposito, si è qui deliberatamente scelto di offrire l'esempio di due opere diverse per natura ideologica e altezza cronologica: l'una risalente alla prima metà del Cinquecento, l'altra originatasi nell'ambito delle guerre di religione e della diaspora dei protestanti francesi in area elvetica. Si tratta, in effetti, di due libri che permettono di comprendere sfumature poco note del processo di riuso di certi concetti machiavelliani che all'epoca potevano essere considerati politicamente controversi. Al tempo stesso, le due opere sono capaci di far risaltare le difficoltà che emergono ogni volta che si prova ad applicare il moderno concetto di autore a testi nati in un contesto caratterizzato da un continuo riutilizzo e dalla rielaborazione di temi ed elementi ascrivibili a una lunga e articolata tradizione di scrittura militare che si sviluppò lungo il corso del secolo, la quale, tuttavia, aveva trovato un momento di passaggio cruciale nel contributo di Machiavelli
"One's Own Arms" and Military Machiavellism: With Some Notes on The Concept of Authorship in 16th Century Treatises ; Armi proprie" e machiavellismo militare: con alcune note sul concetto di "autore" nella trattatistica del Cinquecento
The circulation of Machiavelli'sArt of Warmade a fundamental contribution to the development of sixteenth-century vernacular military cultures. This essay analyses some specific aspects of the story of its reception and, in particular, focuses on the requirement of "one's own arms" promulgated by Machiavelli's book. This article deliberately examines two texts, which are different in both ideology and chronology: one originated in the context of the wars of religion and the diaspora of the French Protestants in the Swiss area, the other one dates back to the first half of the century. In fact, these works bring to light some of the most controversial aspects of the reception of the Florentine's military thought. Further, they expose the difficulties that arise from applying a modern concept of authorship to texts born in a context which was characterized by a continuous recycling and reworking of themes and features, which had evolved within a long tradition of military writing and which, however, have been transformed, if not revolutionized by Machiavelli. ; La circolazione dell'Arte della guerra di Machiavelli ha dato un fondamentale contributo allo sviluppo della cultura militare europea in volgare del Cinquecento.

A turning point in European administrative and documentary practices was traditionally associated, most famously by Robert-Henri Bautier, with the monarchies of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. By summarizing previous research in this field, as well as by using both published and unpublished sources, this article intends to underline an earlier process of transition connected to the development of significant new techniques for the production and preservation of documents in Renaissance Italian city-states. Focusing on the important case of Florence, the administrative uses of records connected to government, diplomacy and military needs will be discussed, and evidence will be provided that such documentary practices accelerated significantly during the so-called Italian Wars (from 1494 onwards). A particular reason of interest for Florence at this time is that a major role in the production and storage of a large quantity of state papers was played by Niccolò Machiavelli, one of the outstanding political thinkers of the age. This was especially true in connection to the new militia which he himself created in 1506. By stressing the role of information management and the importance of correspondence networks at a time of war and crisis, this article also contributes to recent scholarship which has focused on the growth of public records relating to diplomacy in Italy during the second half of the fifteenth century, as well as to a recent field of historiography which has lately gained importance: namely the 'documentary history of institutions'.

"Armas propias" y maquiavelismo militar: con algunas notas sobre el concepto de autor en la tratadística del siglo XV
In: Las torres de Lucca: revista internacional de filosofía política, Band 11, Heft 2, S. 297-307

La circulación de El arte de la guerra de Maquiavelo ha supuesto una contribución fundamental al desarrollo en lengua vernácula de la cultura militar europea del siglo xv. Este artículo analiza algunos aspectos específicos de la recepción de esta obra en la producción escrita militar de su tiempo, concentrándose en particular en aquellos elementos vinculados con la cuestión de las "armas propias" que tan ampliamente propagó este libro de Maquiavelo. Con este propósito, se ha escogido deliberadamente el ejemplo de dos obras diversas tanto en naturaleza ideológica como en su altura cronológica: la primera data de la primera mitad del siglo xv, la otra se originó en el contexto de las guerras de religión y de la diáspora de los protestantes franceses hacia suelo helvético. Se trata, en efecto, de dos libros que permiten comprender matices poco conocidos del proceso de reutilización de ciertos conceptos maquiavelianos que en su momento podrían ser considerados políticamente controvertidos. Al mismo tiempo, ambas obras son capaces de señalar o enfatizar la dificultad que emerge cada vez que se trata de aplicar el concepto moderno de autor a textos nacidos en un contexto caracterizado por un continuo reciclaje y reelaboración de temas y elementos adscribibles a una larga y articulada tradición de escritura militar desarrollada a lo largo del siglo, y que, sin embargo, había vivido un proceso crucial de transición con la contribución de Maquiavelo.
