Review
"An invaluable reference tool for all Renaissance scholars....Presents a great deal of art historical information in an informative and easily used format. It is an essential book for any library dealing with Ancient or Renaissance art."--Art Documentation
"The Bober and Rubinstein volume has already achieved that ultimate accolade of coming to be known simply by the names of its authors...This vast body of information, much of it completely new, is invaluable....[The authors] go beyond such particulars as source-spotting to provide the possibility of a real understanding of a whole repertory of forms."--Times Literary Supplement
"The authors have left no stone unturned in their quest for original influences and borrowings from the antique."--Financial Times
"Most readers will be impressed by its dense and compendious character. It is certainly one of the most useful art-historical reference books to have been published in recent decades....The entries are highly readable, the scholarship is thorough but succinct, and the references are reliable."--Burlington Magazine
"One can only marvel at the colossal amount of precise and accurate information arranged so perfectly--a truly Herculean task performed by Amazons....The volume is a 'Handbook of Sources' which should have a place in every refernce library."--The Royal Society of Arts Journal
"A dense, carefully-annotated, well-illustrated index of material prerequisite to...[studying] the range of problems and complexities of analysis accompanying any examination of the Renaissance appreciation of antiquity."--New York City Tribune
