Excerpt from A Holiday in Umbria: With an Account of Urbino and the Cortegiano of CastiglioneThe story of the Duchy is usefully collected in Dennistoun's Dukes of Urbino, but I have referred when I could to the original authorities, and to the archives at Pesaro, Urbino, and Ancona. Sir T. Hoby's translation of the Cortegz'ano in 1561 has been re-edited with an introduction by Sir W. Raleigh, to which I am much indebted. Other works to which I have referred will be found mentioned in the notes.A few of the illustrations are from photo graphs, the rest are from my own sketches.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
