About This Item
Based in a trove of previously unknown documents discovered in Florence by Gino Corti. "When the transcribed documents arrived in St. Louis, about two-thirds of them turned out to be the long-missing material covering the construction and decoration of the Chapel of the Cardinal of Portugal... These records, contained in the ledgers of the Cambini bank, which had been entrusted with the disbursement of the immense sums paid out for the chapel and its works of art, were preserved in the archives of the Ospedale degli Innocenti. With a completeness unexampled in any other monument of the Quattrocento, they clocked, almost from day to day, the progress of work in the chapel... Corti's find was a discovery of the first importance. ..." 192 pages of text, 4 color plates, 152 black & white photograph plates; 31 cm. Bound in cream linen, slightly soiled, no dust jacket, bookplate of Sam Hough; binding Good, book internally Very Good. Stock#ofc0657.
