Baccio Bandinelli and Art at the Medici Court

Waldman, Louis A
Baccio Bandinelli and Art at the Medici Court
More than five centuries after his birth, the contradictions embodied by the Florentine sculptor Baccio Bandinelli (1493-1560) remain as mysterious as ever.

Planetary Diagrams for Roman Astronomy in Medieval Europe...

Eastwood, Bruce / Grasshoff, Gerd
Planetary Diagrams for Roman Astronomy in Medieval Europe, CA 800-1500
