About the Book:”Seldom have careful scholarship and book design combined to make a work as attractive as David Quint’s new translation of Poliziano’s Stanze per la giostra. . . . Quint’s facing translation is excellent, conveying the tone and content of the poetry in prose paragraphs which reflect the octave of the original; he manages an effect which is wholly satisfying. . . . an outstanding contribution belonging on every scholar’s shelf.”–Italica
