Editorial Reviews

One hundred articles, selected from the vast amount of writing about Michelangelo, are arranged in five volumes, which are available as a set or separately. The collection is both accessible to the general reader and useful to the specialist, offering a sampling of old and new commentary on the artist and his work. V.1, Life and Early Works (0-8153-1823-5, $95) begins with overviews of Michelangelo's life and work and also contains more focused essays on his political thought and his chief biographers, as well as surveys of his early career and some principal works (including the Rome Pieta and the David. The other volumes are as follows: v.2: The Sistine Chapel (1825-1, $95); v.3: San Lorenzo (1826-X, $95), covering his mid-career, between 1515 and 1534; v.4: Tomb of Julius II and Other Works in Rome (1827-8, $90); and v.5: Drawings, Poetry, and Miscellaneous Studies (1828-6, $90). The articles are reproduced from various sources, and some are in reduced type that is not kind on the eyes. B&w photos are included in each volume. Unfortunately, neither the individual volumes nor the set as a whole is indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
