Alessio was considered by some aththpseudonym for Girolamo Ruscelli (d. ca. 1565), but there is noevidence for this association.

The lastingimportance of her book is evidenced by the copious referencesto it, and quotations from it, by later theologians and authors ofdevotional manuals, particularly by sixteenth and seventeenthcentury authors in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, andEngland.”For a note on Angela, see entry 6603.Issued in paper.KSM,LC,OCLC0003ARIOSTO, Lodovico[Orlando furioso (1532).

They are sadly mistaken: Miller’sprose is close to unreadable.

Edited by Charles Harrison, Paul Wood andJason Gaiger. Oxford; Malden, Massachusetts,Blackwell Publishers, 2000.[7], viii-xxii, [1], 2-1220, [6] pp.This extensive anthology includes very few Italiancontributions. There are brief excerpts from Giovanni PietroBellori (1613-1696) on Poussin, and his preface to Le vite de’pittori, scultori e architetti moderni (1672), from FrancescoScanelli (1616-1663), Microcosmo della pittura (1657), fromMarco Boschini (1613-1705), Le ricche minere della pitturaveneziana (1674), from Rosalba Carrera (1675-1757) onfeminine studies, and from Francesco Algarotti (1712-1764) onthe Camera Obscura in his Saggio sopra la pittura (1762).

Edited by Jeanne Chenault Porter. NewYork: Italica Press, 2000.[6], vii-li, [3], 3-246, [2] pp.: ill.; facsims.,maps, ports.The 69 readings in this compilation are almost all translatedfrom Italian sources. The translators are Isabel Innocenti-Darrah, Vieva McClure, Lisa Noetzel, Jeanne Chenault Porter,Marco Rossi-Doria, and Jeff Veenstra. The writers given themost space among the more than fifty Italian contributors areGiambattista Marino, Tommaso Campanella, and GiambattistaVico. The series editor for A Documentary History of Naples,Ronald G. Musto, writes: “As befits the period, [ChenaultPorter’s] book focuses on Naples as a cultural capital, onewhose brilliant achievements in the arts and letters belied —and to an extent masked — the profound social, economic, andpolitical problems of the kingdom of Naples and of the AncienRégime throughout Europe. These would come to a crisis in thewake of the French Revolution and prepare the way for acentury of ‘marginalization’ from which the city is only nowemerging. Thus, while no one can ignore the deep structuralshortcomings of the city and its kingdom during the twocenturies covered in [this] volume, so too no one can deny theessential truth that the years 1600 to 1800 were indeed, ‘theGolden Age of Naples.’”Issued in paper.LC,OCLC,YRK0006BELLARMINO, Roberto Francesco Romolo, Saint[De gemitu columbae, sive, De bono lachrymorum(1756).
