Reviews

All of the case studies are interesting and are based on meticulous research in primary sources. This reviewer enjoyed the volume (not least because it is itself a beautiful artifact), learned much from it, and, like the editor, hopes it will inspire further forays into this intriguing field (11)-such forays are essential because of this volume's limitations. It works well as a detailed and richly textured study of cultural production in the sixteenth century and as an exploration of the relationship between art and history. D. J. B. Trim, Newbold College, Bracknell, Sixteenth Century Journal
