Historian connections (and connections of connections)! I'm compiling resources for a novel on an alternate history of Florence from 1440-1460, focusing on a weakened Medici hold due to a Black Plague resurgence and the attempts of the degli Albizzi family to take control of Florence and turn it into the rebirth of the Roman Empire. I've had fantastic luck pulling sources on the Medicis, of course, but I'm having some difficulty locating usable sources for the degli Albizzis from my usual places (JSTOR, Credo, and EBSCO). I'm looking specifically for Rinaldo, Ormanno, Bartolomeo, and Maria, since they're the four major players in this story. From my searches, Maria has been the easiest to find information on, due to her prolific illumination work as a nun-scribe. If anyone is able to point me in the right direction for resources on the degli Albizzi family, I'd appreciate it! Picture of a portrait of Rinaldo degli Albizzi from his Wikipedia page, for help with the algorithms. #writingcommunity #historicalfiction #alternativehistory #amwritingfiction #renaissance #research #medici #albizzi
