5.0 out of 5 stars Biography of a Renaissance genius by a modern one. 6 Feb 2011
By R. Watkins - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Alberti has left us some architecture and a lot of writing, but it is difficult to build a three dimensional portrait of this man. Anthony Grafton is one of the best modern historians of European thought, and has made full and imaginative use of the documents, giving us a rich sense of Alberti's values and preoccupations. It helps too that Grafton's prose is colloquial and precise at the same time. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars A review by a decendant 7 Jan 2001
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
My surname is Alberti (52 years old), I am a direct decendant of Leon Battista Alberti (1404-72). It was a very personal experience to read Mr. Graftons book. How often in this fast paced world do we forget our roots and our heritage. Since my father is still living there are 4 generations of Alberti's all residing in the United States. I appreciated Mr. Graftons style of brining to life the man behind the ledgend. Thank you Mr. Grafton, you have added much to the completion of the history of my family and ancestory.
