“This book is an invaluable contribution to the field of Renaissance studies […] Baker’s elegant translation provides a clear, faithful version of Camporeale’s often complex and intricate style. As such, the present volume will also prove an invaluable tool for scholars and students who are not fully versed in Italian or are not familiar with contemporary Italian scholarship.”Maude Vanhaelen, University of Warwick.
