Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. Rendered by a rare books curator at the New York Public Library, the translation of the hand-lettered Greek texts startles with its pithiness just when it threatens to sound too literal. Fahy, a scholar at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, identifies the probable illustrator as Gherardo di Giovanni, a contemporary of Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli, who painted frescoes and panels. The manuscript, now held by the New York Public Library, may have belonged to Piero de' Medici, the Renaissance Florentin
Historical writers This is a lovely reproduction of a book read by our ancestors. It is interesting for its sayings and wisdom , which are frequently referred to in our own century. The pictures are clearly shown, and representative of what the proverbs reflect. They are simply drawn with some coloured tints added. This does not take away from the enjoyment of the manuscript but is not useful if one is looking for sophisticated brush strokes or complex compositions.Due to being written 500 years ago the actual words are different but the meaning is clear.. Must have! A great bed time story for kids or adults.A classic to add to your collection.An absolute must have in every home library!!!
