Pliny and the Artistic Culture of the Italian Renaissance: The Legacy of the Natural History

This title charts the historiography of Latin and Italian manuscripts and early printed copies of the «Natural History» to trace the dissemination of its contents to artists from Donatello to Michelangelo.
