Reading edition
On the whole subject of the constitution of the Italian towns see Hegel, Geschichte der Städteverfassung von Italien (1847), Heinemann, Zur Entstehung der Städteverfassung in Italien (1896), whose views Hegel contests; or for their more general history, Lanzi, Storia dei communi italiani (1881-1884), and Sismondi’s old-fashioned Histoire des Républiques Italiennes.
