Malvasia's Life of the Carracci Commentary and Translation

"[T]he publication of Anne Summerscale's handsomely produced English translation, MALVASIA'S 'LIFE OF THE CARRACCI' [is] particularly welcome. The substantial introduction and detailed notes are by way of a bonus, but it is the rendition of the text that really matters....[It] strikes a very satisfactory balance between the conflicting requirements of fidelity to the complex, even clotted syntax of the original on one hand, and the need to produce a readable modern version of Malvasia's prose on the other."Malvasia, Carlo C. is the author of 'Malvasia's Life of the Carracci Commentary and Translation' with ISBN 9780271018997 and ISBN 0271018992.
