Illegitimacy in Renaissance Florence. Thomas J. Kuehn
The conflict had no happy ending, and Bonazza does not present one. The dispute subsided with the signing of the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. But the issues were never resolved. Bonazza explains the importance of the story of Trent, Tyrol, and the Steuerstreit as providing an "alternate model" to the concept of the emerging fiscal state in the seventeenth century. The region remained a "statehood divided." Bonazzas clear-sighted depiction of the complexity of the issue is the true value of the book.
