Reviews

''This excellent volume, part of Intersections series of Interdisciplinary Studies in Early Modern Culture, focuses on the reading and writing habits of premodern artists who vary in profession from painters and architect designers to musicians [...] this book makes a substantive contribution to the intellectual history of the early modern period. [...] The book's dynamic approach to this subject makes it appealing to historians of a wide range of disciplines including art, architecture design, literature and music''. Lisandra Estevez, Winston-Salem State University. In: Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. 45, No. 1, 2014, pp. 175-177.
