Le travail porte sur les relations diplomatiques et commerciales établies entre Florence et le sultanat mamelouk (Égypte-Syrie), à partir de la troisième décennie du XVe siècle et, époque où les contacts entre les deux puissances s’intensifièrent et où les échanges économiques avec l’Égypte et la Syrie revêtirent pour les deux puissances un caractère important. Même si les ports et les villes côtières du sultanat mamelouk furent fréquentés par des marchands florentins depuis le XIVe siècle, ce ne fut qu’à partir de 1421 que Florence parvint à s’assurer un accès direct à la mer et à posséder ses propres navires. Ce développement conduisit à un changement dans la nature et la fréquence des relations diplomatiques et commerciales entre les deux puissances. Désormais, Florence pouvait prétendre jouer un rôle d’interlocuteur direct avec les sultans et protéger les principaux acteurs de son commerce : les marchands. / The research investigates the diplomatic and commercial relations that were established between Florence and the Mamluk sultanate (Egypt-Syria), during the first half of the 15th century. This is the period when the contacts between the two states intensified and the significance of the economic exchanges between Florence and the Mamluk Empire became important for both powers. Even though the Florentine merchants had been active in the harbors and in the coastal cities of the Mamluk Sultanate since the 14th century, it is only from 1421 that Florence managed to secure a direct outlet to the sea and to have its own ships. This expansion led to a shift in the nature and the frequency of the diplomatic and commercial relations between the two powers: Florence could now pretend to play the role of a direct interlocutor with the sultans and seek to protect the leading actors of its trade: the merchants.

Book Summary: Florence in the Early Modern World offers new perspectives on this important city by exploring the broader global context of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, within which the experience of Florence remains unique. By exploring the city's relationship to its close and distant neighbours, the interdisciplinary chapters reveal the transnational history of Florence. The chapters orient the lenses of the most recent historiographical turns perfected in studies on Venice, Rome, Bologna, Naples, and elsewhere towards Florence. New techniques, such as digital mapping, alongside new comparisons of Architectural Theory and merchants in Eurasia, provide the latest perspectives about Florence’s cultural and political importance before, during and after the Renaissance. From Florentine merchants in Egypt and India, through actual and idealised military ambitions in the sixteenth-century Mediterranean, to Tuscan humanists in late medieval England, the contributors to this interdisciplinary volume reveal the connections Florence held to early modern cities across the globe. Steering away from the historical narrative of an insular Renaissance Europe and instead identifying the significance of other global influences, this volume is essential reading for students and scholars of early modern cities and the Renaissance.

Since its inception, the African American Church has played a vital role in the African American community. During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the black Methodist movement began. Methodism was the first separate denomination formed by African Americans in the United States and remains one of the largest denominations populated by African Americans. Presbyterianism became a part of African American culture during the mid nineteenth century. Within many black Methodist and Presbyterian churches, the tradition of the musical liturgy, which included the music of European classical composers, was expected to remain unchanged, and even today many of the churches within these denominations have held fast to a traditional music liturgy.For many black women coming of age during the late eighteenth through to the twentieth centuries, the time of the composers Florence Price (1887-1953) and Dorothy Rudd Moore (b.1940), the music liturgy of the African American Presbyterian and Methodist church aided them in their exposure to European classical composers and their compositions. This document explores the premise that exposure during their formative years to European classical music within their Presbyterian and Methodist churches helped to nurture Price and Moore's approaches to classical music composition. Included in Appendix A and B are works lists of Florence B. Price and Dorothy Rudd Moore. These works lists were organized by the author from various sources and should prove helpful to those interested in the research and performance of the composers' works.
