It is equally valuable to literary scholars focused on the practice of reception and on translation, both of which are essential to scholarly interrogation of cultural continuity and discontinuity from the ancient to the modern periods.' Brenda Deen Schildgen, Speculum: A Journal of Medieval Studies 'This book provides an excellent case-study both for the dividends reaped from paying close attention to how the classics were read in the later medieval period and how failure to pay attention to this material risks distorting our understanding of the Renaissance.' Justin Stover, Bryn Mawr Classical Review Author InformationEugenio Refini is Assistant Professor of Italian Studies at New York University.
