  • Chancery Officials and the Business of Communal Administration in Republican Florence
    Chancery Officials and the Business of Communal Administration in Republican Florence Ventura and Niccolò Monachi, Chancellors of Florence (1340-48/1348-75) by Leah Faibisoff A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Leah Faibisoff 2018 ii Chancery Officials and the Business of Communal Administration in Republican Florence Ventura and Niccolò Monachi, Chancellors of Florence (1340-48/1348-75) Leah Faibisoff Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This dissertation studies the chancery of the Florentine Republic by examining the administrative offices that constituted the institution and some of the notary-administrators who held principal positions within it. The scholarship on Florentine government often presupposes the existence of some kind of permanent bureaucratic workforce that provided stability for the city’s system of amateur, short-term political office. My dissertation instead suggests that the susceptibility to change in Florentine government extended also to its administrative organization. It can be found at the level of institutional dynamics, but it was also experienced by chancery officials themselves who continually had to negotiate the forces of instability in the performance of their duties, ultimately affecting their attitudes towards their work. The first half of this dissertation considers the institutional dynamics of impermanence within the chancery through an examination and description of the three main offices of the institution during the republican period: the notary of the priors, the notary of legislation, and the chancellor. The main contention of this section is that within the institution of the chancery there was an apparent tension between the semi-permanent, rationalizing force of a very few administrative agents and the impermanent destabilizing force of hundreds of administrative agents who cycled through the chancery.

It’s April 17th, 2012. And today, we’re going to have an interview with James Rosenquist. Jim, would you introduce yourself? JR: No. [Laughing] My name is James Rosenquist, and I’m here, and I’m a painter with, sort of, a long history with this institution. LD: Yeah, that’s actually a great place to begin, Jim. When was the first time that you had contact? JR: Well, that’s back in 1961. Alfred Barr and Lilly Bliss came to my studio. I think, maybe with Phillip Johnson, but I don’t remember. LD: Dorothy Miller? JR: No. LD: Lilly Bliss? Oral History: J Rosenquist - Page 1 of 80 2 JR: And then, they came, and I had a big painting called Silver Skies. And Alfred says, “How are we supposed to look at this? Are we supposed to stand up close, or are we supposed to stand back, or...?” And so they looked at it, and they left, and then they said can we -- well, they said, “Can we come back?”, and I said, “Sure, I don’t care.” Because from my experience in commercial art, people were always looking over my shoulder while I was painting, anyways.
