"Samuel Edgerton brings together the two seemingly unrelated subjects of criminal justice and art in this insightful and innovative book. Examinging Florentine society from the thirteenth to the seventeenth century, he shows how revolutionary changes in art reflected and perhaps influenced the criminal justice system as it began to evolve from the brutal system of the Middle Ages to one more humane in the eighteenth century." -dust jacket.
