John Ruskin, who wrote Mornings
in
Florence,
sketched its Baptistery in water
colour
he
culture of Florence was based on skilled handwork, on alphabetical
learning
and on numerical banking. Its coin (the 'Florin' of our Website's URL),
became the currency of Europe, the medieval Euro, using on one side the
lily of the Virgin at the Annunciation, on the other, John the Baptist;
Mary and John from the Gospel's pages becoming Florence's patrons. For
the Bible from Asia, as 'a stranger in a strange land', had already
become
currency throughout Europe, and from it were to be spawned countless
other
books, such as Dante Alighieri's Commedia, John Milton's Paradise
Lost, Madame de Staël's Corinne ou l'Italie, Elizabeth
Barrett Browning's Aurora Leigh, Robert Browning's The Ring
and
the Book, George Eliot's Romola, Nathaniel Hawthorne's Marble
Faun, Fyodor Dosteivsky's
The Idiot, each of these with Florentine
associatons. At first books were written out by hand, in manuscript
(the
'ms' of our Website's URL), often gold-leafed as well as
rainbow-coloured, and were read aloud and chanted from.
Then they became black and white printed books, read silently in
intellectual loneliness. Now they can be the
sensuous luminous
and harmonious pages, with colour again, and with song, with voice,
through the new/old technologies of alphabet and number, the zeros and
ones, of our computers, of our information society.
II. THE
BRUNETTO LATINO WEBSITE
have a dream of Florence
being the world's University. Brunetto
Latino had a similar dream, which he nurtured in exile in Spain and
France after the 1260 Battle of Montaperti, returning to Florence to
teach Guido Cavalcanti, Dante Alighieri and Francesco da Barberino.
This website contains transcriptions of medieval manuscripts, essays,
conference proceedings and, as E-Books, Latino's Il Tesoretto, Li Livres dou Tresor, La
Rettorica, and a volume of essays Sweet New Style;
Essays on Brunetto Latino, Dante
Alighieri and Geoffrey Chaucer.

We held 'The City and the Book IV' in October 2007, and 'The City and the Book V' in October 2008. We are dedicated to saving Florence's very beautiful, famous, abandoned 'English' Cemetery, which in this year celebrates its 180th year of existence, the Swiss Evangelical Reformed Church having bought this land from the Grand Duke in 1827, the first burial being in 1828.

his website next became the
publisher
of the catalogue of tombs in the Swiss-owned so-called 'English'
Cemetery in Florence, resulting in information coming from
descendants
and scholars from as far away as Africa and Australia.
This catalogue is linked to files, of use to scholars, genealogists and relatives, giving the complete registry of the tombs in the so-called English Cemetery in Florence and the Cimitero agli Allori, just outside Florence, opened in 1877 when the 'English Cemetery' was closed for burials:Cemetery Archive and Library Catalogue libtauEnglish Cemetery Register A-D, http://www.florin.ms/cemetery1.html

IX. THE ROM WEBSITE
The
Rom
(gypsies) have no army,
no national boundaries, while their flag is of the green of the earth, the blue of the sky, the red of a waggon wheel. This
website seeks to reduce fear of them in Florence and to enable their
own culture to be preserved.

X. FLORIN, A NON-PROFIT GUIDE TO CULTURE AND COMMERCE IN FLORENCE
This Florin
Website is presented to enhance the knowledge and appreciation of
Florence's
work ethic, which stretches back to the Desert Fathers and their making
of baskets and books (baskets to earn their bread, books to continue
conversing
across time and space about contemplation), which was continued in
Benedictine
monasteries, and in lay cities, like Assisi, like Florence.
Florence's
University came into being after Dante's day. Yet, in the century
preceding
him, before ever the Medici were heard of, literacy had been
extraordinarily
high, fathers and mothers teaching sons and daughters their letters as
they worked together in family botteghe or workshops. This
website
welcomes you to Florence, and makes suggestions about museums,
libraries
and shops to visit. Italy has half the world's art treasures, Florence
has half Italy's art treasures.

LATEST LIMITED EDITION
ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING
SONNETS AND BALLAD
IN ENGLISH AND
ITALIAN
Click
here
to see full size
Two hundred and fifty numbered, signed editions of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese, Sonnet 'On Hiram Powers' Greek Slave', and the ballad, Runaway Slave at Pilgrim's Point, are edited, translated, typeset in William Morris Troy and Golden fonts, handbound in hand-marbled papers. Elizabeth finally, shyly, gave the sonnet cycle to Robert in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, after the birth of their child, 'Pen', though she had written them during their Wimpole Street, London, courtship. Robert immediately had them published. These volumes are produced in the English Cemetery in Florence, Italy, where both Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Hiram Powers are buried. Their sales will help fund the restoration of the Swiss-owned, so-called 'English' Cemetery.
