This volume comprises a collection of articles that detail various subjects ranging from notable historical figures such as Lucrezia Borgia to geographical locations and scientific concepts. The entries are structured to provide a thorough overview of the topics, serving as a valuable source of information for readers seeking understanding in a wide array of disciplines. At the start of this volume, the article on Lucrezia Borgia describes her background as the daughter of Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, who later became Pope Alexander VI. It outlines her upbringing in the turbulent and morally complex environment of Renaissance Rome, detailing her early marriages that were politically motivated, including annulments and alliances with powerful families. The text touches on her life in Ferrara after marrying Duke Alphonso of Aragon, highlighting her eventual shift towards a more stable and relatively scandal-free existence while she surrounded herself with intellectuals and artists, indicating her multifaceted role within the historical narrative of the period. This portion serves to introduce her character as both a pawn in her father’s political ambitions and a more autonomous figure in her later years. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
