A Renaissance Entertainment: Festivities for the Marriage of Cosimo I, Duke of Florence, in 1539

Abstract

The list of completed works could, conceivably, be of value, as could the bibliographies that follow each entry; but the bibliographies contain entries to works in all languagesand it is surely unreasonable to expect undergraduates to take on the thoughts and language of, for example, W. von Seidlitzand the chronological lists give the appearance of being so arbitrary and unreliable that any student of intelligence would feel as uncertain about them as he would about the essays and biographical entries. To conclude this unfortunate state of affairs, Dr. Lengyel has been badly served by his proof-readers, for the work is spattered with misprints, minor ones it is true, but ones that confirm the general impression one receives that this book was hastily conceived and hastily put together.
