Streicker Center: The Medici Archive Project, Night One

It’s hard to imagine what life was like for, say, an ordinary Jewish merchant at the time of Grand Duke Cosimo III de’Medici (1670–1723). Did he wake up to hostility? Acceptance?

with:
Dr. Alessio Assonitis, Director of The Medici Archive Project
and Dr. Piergabriele Mancuso, Director of the Eugene Grant Research Program on Jewish History and Culture in Early Modern Europe at The Medici Archive Project
