Abstract

Recent years have seen a growing body of literature on relations between Renaissance Italy and the Ottoman Empire. One of the major lacunae in this research concerns the role of the Jews in the transmission of Italian humanist ideas. In order to address this topic, this article will focus on the “Crónica de los reyes otomanos” by the Sephardi polymath Moses ben Baruch Almosnino (ca. 1515–ca. 1580). My goal is to identify a shared set of themes present in Almosnino's thought and key fifteenth-century Italian sources on the correlation between magnificence and good government, and also to shed new light on the influence of Italian humanism in the Ottoman world.

This article originated from research I conducted at I Tatti: The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies; the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan; and the Herbert D.

I am grateful to Katy Fleming, Eleazar Gutwirth, Ehud Krinis, Giorgio Lizzul, Menachem Lorberbaum, Robert Morrison, Alina Payne, Henry Shapiro, Ryan Szpiech, and John Zemke for their feedback. I am also indebted to Gülru Necipoğlu for sharing her thoughts on connections between Ottoman and Renaissance Italian architecture.
