NIKI studies in Netherlandish-Italian art history volume 16
Content:
"This book offers a new edition of one of the most important art historical sources on Italian art. Written not long before Vasari's famous Lives (1550), this source provides an overview of art from Cimabue to Michelangelo. Moreover, the author's ambition was to provide a sketch of the art of classical antiquity. First published in the late nineteenth century, the Codex has led to numerous questions, the main one being: who was its author? We believe we have found the answer to this question, which led us to come up with a new edition of the Codex"--
Content:
New, extensively annotated and lavishly illustrated edition of the most important Italian art historical source before Giorgio Vasari's Lives (1550), with a transcription faithful to the original manuscript, a state of the art Introduction and a proposal to identify the author
