Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
REUMONT, ALFRED VON (1808-1887) , German scholar and diplomatist, the son of Gerhard
Reumont
  (1765-1829), was born on the 15th of August 18o8 and was named Alfred after the English king, Alfred the
Great
 . Educated at the universities of
Bonn
  and
Heidelberg
 , he obtained a position in Florence through the influence of an Englishman, William Craufurd, but soon he entered the Prussian diplomatic service and was employed in
Florence, in
Constantinople
  and in Rome. He also spent some time in the Foreign Office in Berlin. From 1851 to 186o he represented his country in Florence.
Reumont
  was the friend and'adviser of Frederick William IV. In 1879 he founded the A achener Geschichtsverein, and having spent his concluding years at
Bonn
  and at Aix-la-Chapelle, he died in the latter city on the 27th of April 1887.
Reumont's numerous writings deal mainly with Italy, in which country he passed many years of his life. On the history of Florence and of Tuscany he wrote Tavole cronologiche e sincrone della storia fiorentina (184T ; Supplement, 1875) ; Geschichte Toscanas seit dem Ende des florentinischen Freistaats (Gotha, 1876-77) ; and Lorenzo de' Medici (
Leipzig
 , 1874, and again 1883). This last book has been translated into English by R. Harrison (1876). He remembered his connexion with Florence when he wrote Romische Briefe von einem Florentiner (
Leipzig
 , 1840-44), and his residence in Rome was also responsible for his Geschichte der Stadt Rom (3 vols., 1867-70). Turning his attention to the history of Naples, he wrote Die Carafe von Maddaloni: Neapel unter spanischer Herrschaft (1851; Eng. trans., 1854), and more general works on Italian history are: Beitrage zur italienischen Geschichte (6 vols., Berlin, 1853-57), and Charakterbilder aus der neueren Geschichte Italiens (1886). More strictly biographical in their nature are: Die Jugend Caterinas de' Medici (1854), which has been translated into French by A. Baschet (1866) ; -Die Grafin von Albany (186o) and a life of his close friend Capponi, Gino Capponi, ein Zeit- and Lebensbild (Gotha, 188o). His Ganganelli: Papst Clemens XIV., seine Briefe and seine Zeit (Berlin, 1847) is valuable for the relations between this
pope
  and the
Jesuits
 . Other works which may be mentioned are Zeitgenossen, Biografien and Charakteristiken (Berlin, 1862); Bibliografia del lavori pubblicati in Germania sulla storia d'Italia (Berlin, 1863) ; Biographische Denkblbtter nosh personlichen Erinnerungen (Leipzig, 1878) ; and Saggi di storia e letteratura (Florence, 1880). Reumont's other important
work
 , one which he was peculiarly fitted to write, was his Aus
Friedrich
  Wilhelms IV. gesunden and kranken Tagen (Leipzig, 1885).
See H. Huffer, Alfred von Reumont (Cologne, 1904) ; and the same writer's article in the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, Band xxviii. (1889).
