Book excerpt: Patronage, in its broadest sense, has been established as one of the dominant social processes of pre-industrial Europe and has more recently been examined by historians as a comprehensive system of patron-client structures which permeated society and social relations. Focusing specifically on the city of Florence, these essays explore the new understanding of Renaissance Italy as a 'patronage society.'
