Book excerpt: Excerpt from Franciscan Legends in Italian Art: Pictures in Italian Churches and Galleries A list of books that I have used will be found in the Bibliography; for modern attributions of pictures I have been guided mainly by the revised edition of Crowe and Cavalcaselle, and by such critics as Mr. Fry and Mr. Berenson. On dis puted points, such as the attribution of the Upper Church Crucifixion to Cimabue, and the date of the Giotto Allegories in the Lower Church, I have followed Mr. Fry. My special indebted ness to Herr Thode will be sufficiently obvious, but must none the less be gratefully expressed here. My references are all to his edition of 1904.

Book excerpt: Between 1250 and 1350, numerous Italian city-states jockeyed for position in a cutthroat political climate. Seeking to legitimate and ennoble their autonomy, they turned to ancient Rome for concrete and symbolic sources of identity. Each city-state appropriated classical symbols, ancient materials, and Roman myths to legitimate its regime as a logical successor to&—or continuation of&—Roman rule. In Urban Legends, Carrie Bene&š illuminates this role of the classical past in the construction of late medieval Italian urban identity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unpublished Legends of Virgil It may be observed that in these Northern legends, Virgil is in most cases Spoken of as a poet as well as magician, but that he is before all, benevolent and genial, a great sage invariably doing good, while always inspired with humour. Mr. Robinson Ellis has shrewdly observed that, in reading the Neapolitan tales of Virgil, we are painfully struck with the absence, for the most part, of any imaginative element in them. I would, however, suggest, that in these which I have gathered with no small pains having devoted a great part of my time for several years to the task - there is no want of imagination, romance or humour. Such are, in brief, the contents of this book. Sincerely trusting that the press and public may treat it as kindly as they did the etrusco-roman Remains, and The Legends of Florence, I await the verdict, which will probably determine whether I Shall publish other Italian traditions, of which I have still a very large collection.

In one the ideal comes into form by accretion, in the other by elimination.' You may lavishly apply pigments until you have built up your ideal, or you may cut away superfiuities until you have reached it. History may partake of either or both of these methods. It may be presented as a sumptuous picture on a generous canvas, rich in color and be wildering in detail, or it may be reached like a cameo, by cutting away every shining particle which obscures the clear simple out line, with perhaps just a sparing use of pig ment here and there to intensify the relief. Whichever method be chosen, failure is al ways imminent, and the difficulties prodigi ous. But as a general proposition, it is easier to say things, than to refrain from saying them, especially if one's theme be Rome and Italy, when no fragment seems superﬂuous. To tell the story of the Italian peninsula from the days of Eneas to the present time, in less than three hundred small pages, is not an easy task! Two daemons perpetually attend you, one whispering that you are omit ting matter essential to the narrative; the other insisting that you are amplifying en tirely too much. To which of these counsel lors the writer has given too much heed, must be left to the reader to Judge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Italian Literature, Classical and Modern: Also, the Legend of IL Cenacolo, a Poem "Qual alto seggio T' abhia assegnato Dio ne le sue glorie, Alighiero, non so. So che la tua Italia ti loco nel piu sublime. So ch' ella sempre t' oblio nei giorni De la vilta: ma ai di de la speranza Legge il tuo libro; e ormai piu non t' oblia." Perhaps of the three parts of the "Divina Commedia" the "Paradiso" is the least dwelt upon by English students of the great Italian poet. It has the just reputation of being the part most difficult of comprehension in the whole poem. Those who attempt to read it are deterred from doing so by the allegories and metaphors which, frequently employed throughout the work, occur in almost every line of the "Paradiso;" by the arrangement of the heavenly spheres according to the now exploded Ptolemaical system; and, above all, by the theological and philosophical expositions which, it must be admitted, are not entirely free from the scholasticism prevalent in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. These appear to be some of the reasons why the "Paradiso," considered by Italian critics the greatest effort of Dante's mind, is so little appreciated by foreigners.
