After the State and the Church, the most well organized membership system of medieval and early modern Europe was the confraternity.

The Boys of the Archangel Raphael: A Youth Confraternity in Florence, 1411-1785
ISBN: 9781442613034 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Confraternities and their contribution to the fabric of society have become invisible history for us today. Although their activities began in the Renaissance and continued until the end of the Enlightenment, confraternities have not yet found a place in the standard histories of the period, or even in the histories of religion or of the Church. With The Boys of the Archangel Raphael, Konrad Eisenbichler brings to light the daily life and history of one such organization from its founding in 1411 to its final suppression in 1785. While focusing on the Compagnia... Confraternities and their contribution to the fabric of society have become invisible history for us today. Although their activities began in the ... |

One afternoon Celso and the ladies consider universal beauty. On a subsequent evening, they attempt to fashion a composite picture of perfect beauty by combining the beautiful features of women they know.
