The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Review

"This work is not only a fine contribution to the scholarly literature of art but an intriguing story told with clarity, wit and insight. The author has done superb archival sleuthing...not only by exhuming forgotten history but bringing it to life."
Malcolm Campbell, University of Pennsylvania

"Whoever is interested in seicento Medici patronage and collecting will have to refer to this work, which will remain a 'classic" text in its field." The Burlington Magazine

"Edward Goldberg's enjoyable Patterns in Late Medici Art Patronage...is one of the most important books in this genre...to have been published in recent times." Apollo
