Review:

"This heavily illustrated four-volume set is a derivative student edition based upon the more comprehensive Encyclopedia of the Renaissance issued in 1999 under the direction of the same editor...Individual entries are quite readable and are provided with marginal definitions of works that may be unfamiliar to the student, as well as references to related articles."
