Literary Review Parker offers perceptive and intriguing analyses of the style and handwriting used in Michelangelo's letters and in some poems. Before 1500 he wrote in a hybrid script employing elements of the mercantesca traditionally used by merchants, but later switched to a more humanistic cursive hand. His handwriting is most graceful when he is writing to important people. When writing to his family he frequently uses proverbs and maxims, such as those found in Tuscan books on family guidance. . . Parker has amply shown that Michelangelo did not have a monopoly on such standard figures of speech, and his artworks are infinitely more subtle than any of his writings. -James Hall, Literary Review 'Offers perceptive and intriguing analyses of the style and handwriting used in Michelangelo's letters, and in some of his poems ... interesting and persuasive.'
