Holy tamales! And I thought Caravaggio wasn’t wrapped tight! People who believe just because a person has genius they are “better” than others or even above behaving ethically have always made my teeth hurt. It’s important to remember there was very little understanding of mental illness at that time. BTW both created some of my favorite works of art. What an extraordinary find!
I still am ashamed. 40 years ago, I stole a copy of this book by accident. I left the bookstore without paying because we all were distracted, me and the cashier. But when I finally noticed that I hadn't paid, a few hours and a journey by train later, I must confess I didn't go back to pay.
I love your videos and appreciate the work that you put into them. Moreover, your history lessons behind each one of the books you present is outstanding. Please keep up your great work. Thank you
LOL; I've got 5 old (worthless) editions, I used to walk into book shops and asks for copies of this book. It's a wonderful portrait of the mindset of the middle class during the renaissance. Yes, he's an old man talking about his youth. We don't have Lorenzo, Niccolo, or Cosimo's mindset, but bombastic seems to be the norm.
Best info I can find is that it's one English noble, Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington, who also happens to have a lot of other titles. He was a great patron of the arts so he possiblt he did pay for it.
Tom, more like this, please.
Agreed!
YES! History on the books, especially ones like this are interesting and fun.
I didn't know I needed to follow RUclips channel for books. This is a great video.
@G1V3M3URTAGS yes!!

On Tom's website, it looks like the book has already been sold. There are paperback translations published by Oxford and Penguin.

Yes!!
I'm so glad - and the dragon emoji has entered the chat!

Great video Tom, you make some my favorite youtube video, as always so interesting and informative.

What's with the dedication to various British and Irish nobles??? Did they pay for the print run?
Best info I can find is that it's one English noble, Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington, who also happens to have a lot of other titles. He was a great patron of the arts so he possiblt he did pay for it.
Art history
Wow
Thought this was going to be 'the three Imposters'.😢😢😢
I like anything about necromancers.
Tom, what about the lines which say, Riccardo Boyle, Conte di Burlington, e Cork, etc? Did they sponsor the original book?
thats very interesting, have you ever covered grose's dictionary of the vulgar tongue or my secret life by walter?
Why is the book dedicated to an English Earl?
He more than likely was a patron
I guess Geatano Berenstadt didn't have much else to do with his time.
I wonder at it's worth ?
Greetings from Chile, Tom. I love your videos
