About this book

Comanini's impressive erudition makes his treatise an excellent barometer of the state of scholarship in the Counter-Reformation era. This translation is a long-overdue addition to the field of Renaissance studies.

Reviews

Angelo Mazzocco, Professor of Spanish and Italian, Mount Holyoke College:

'This translation renders accurately the intense and at times tortuous rationalization of Comanini, and it does so in a sparkling and readable prose.'
