410 - The Life of Lorenzo de’ Medici — William Roscoe — 1803 Philadelphia 2-Vol.

Early American printing of William Roscoe’s classic biography of Lorenzo de’ Medici, the great Renaissance patron of art and learning. Printed in Philadelphia by Bronson & Chauncey in 1803. Full tree calf bindings with gilt spine bands. Roscoe’s work was one of the first English-language accounts to celebrate Lorenzo’s influence on Florence’s golden age, bringing Renaissance humanism to 19th-century readers. Rare to find this two-volume set complete. Condition: Both volumes present; expected foxing, edge wear, and cracked but intact hinges typical for 220-year-old leather.
