Medici Money: Banking, Metaphysics, and Art in Fifteenth-Century FlorenceBefore they achieved renown as patrons of the arts and de facto rulers of Florence, the Medici family earned their fortune in banking. But even at the height of the Renaissance, charging interest of any kind meant running afoul of the Catholic Church's ban on usury. Tim Parks reveals how the legendary Medicis Cosimo and Lorenzo "the Magnificent" in particular used the diplomatic, military, and even metaphysical tools at hand, along with a healthy dose

Fits really well, not too wide and sleeve length isn’t too short
Size: Medium, Color: Tinted Ice Light Wash
I’m presently surprised at how well this fits. My daughter is about 49” and 43lbs. She’s 8 years old. This jacket fits her well in a size small. It’s not short in the arms (problem I see with Carter’s and Osh gosh at times) and it’s not too baggy or made too wide. It’s slimming and unlike the other review, the material feels very similar to our Osh gosh Jean jacket we got last year. For the price this is a steal. Way better than target’s cat & jack.
