Product Description
Review
"Very useful."--A. Bonodeo, University of California, Santa Barbara
"A fine collection, well translated. The notes will e very helpful to students, without seeming condescending. Although a small volume, the material is rich and shall indeed provide much for thought, debate and analytical reflection. It is 'artistic literature' to be sure. And commensurate with student budgets."--Paul S. Burdett, Jr., Montclair State College
Product Description
The poems have been rendered into vigorous contemporary English. A selection of Michelangelo's letters, many of them to important contemporaries such as Vasari and Duke Cosimo, is accompanied by the `Life' of the great artist written by his pupil Ascanio Condivi.

First Sentence
As an unworthy servant and a man of low fortune I would not dare to appear before Your Holiness, if my unworthiness and lowliness had not first been raised up and enheartened by you yourself, when you so condescended towards me that you had me admitted to your presence, and with words conforming with your kindliness and eminence deigned to give me courage and hope beyond my merit and condition.
