Recenzje

'Camiz must be considered one of the most important scholars contributing to early modern artistic and musical culture. These essays are equally important to our understanding of both art and music in this period. I strongly recommend them and the whole collection to all scholars who seek fresh perspectives on the early modern period.' The Art Book '... imaginative, rich, and thoughtful...' Renaissance Quarterly
