‘The great value of present collection is the degree to which these essays demonstrate the indispensability of commentary in the Renaissance, how integral theories and practices of commentary were to a vibrant intellectual world.’ - Russ Leo (Sixteenth Century Journal vol 65:02:2014) ‘This is an excellent volume - an education for the novice and a provocation to further scholarship to the expert.’ - R. Ward Holder (Renaissance Quarterly vol 66:04:2013)
