Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Holiday in Umbria: With an Account of Urbino and the Cortegiano of Castiglione
The 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.
