Book Description
Excerpt from Guide to Siena, History and Art For some years there has been an ever increasing demand for an adequate English Guide to Siena; and, indeed, I have heretofore only been deterred from attempting to supply what I am well satisfied is a real want, by the difficulty of finding an author upon whose knowledge and accuracy I felt able to rely. It is not every art critic who is capable of writing History, and many historians are lamentably ignorant of the first principles of Art. This difficulty has been finally solved by the employment of two different persons, each thoroughly competent in his or her particular line. The writing of the Guide Book proper has been entrusted to Miss L.M. Olcott, who for several years has devoted special attention to the study of Sienese Art, and who has enjoyed the advantage of the counsel and assistance of two such well-known and authoritative critics as Mr Bernhard Berenson and Mr F. Mason Perkins. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of Siena I DO not think that any apology is necessary for this book. The Republic of Siena played an important part in Italy in the Middle Ages, and in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. But whilst her neighbour Florence has had many historians, there is no complete history of Siena in any language. Moreover, whilst there are many works in English on subj ects connected with the art and literature of Renaissance, there are but few in our tongue which treat in a serious and scholarly spirit of the history of the Italian States. My original intention was first to tell brie y the story of Siena, and afterwards to compose a fuller account of her troubled, struggling life. But, as time progressed, I determined to attempt to write a book which would both be useful to the historical student and also not without interest to the general reader.
