Description

Renaissance Diplomacy by Garrett Mattingly This 1955 work explores the development of modern diplomacy in Renaissance Europe. After around 1400, diplomatic traditions underwent a significant shift, driven by new power relations in the emerging modern world. This change offers valuable insights into how nations and traditions evolve. The book examines key aspects of medieval diplomacy, 15th-century practices, Italian beginnings of modern diplomacy, precedents for resident embassies, dynastic power relations in 16th-century Europe, French diplomacy, and the breaking-up of Christendom. American scholar Garrett Mattingly's work provides a comprehensive understanding of early modern diplomacy. Written by Garrett Mattingly, author of Catherine of Aragon (1941) and The Armada (1959), this book is an important study of Renaissance diplomacy.
