[From back cover] In the centuries of recovery after the Black Death, increasingly crowded and wealthy cities became powder kegs where old tensions - between citizens and visitors, men and women, Christianity and rival traditions, elites and multitudes - channeled the energies of new and increasing factional and economic rivalries. This catalog lays out a geography of tensions affecting Renaissance urban spaces from Constantinople to Mexico City, using rare books and artifacts from the University of Chicago Library Special Collections Research Center, and the Smart Museum of Art.
