Cultural Genealogy explores the popularization in the Renaissance of the still pervasive myth that later cultures are the hereditary descendants of ancient or older cultures. Through examples ranging from Petrarch to Columbus, Maffeo Vegio to the Hapsburgs, Falco shows how the new techne of systematic genealogy facilitated the process of remythicizing the ancient authorities, utterly transforming Greek and Roman values and reforging them into the mold of contemporary needs.
