The current number of the Harvard Library Notes is devoted to "Florentine Picture Books", and is an interesting companion with which to visit the Florentine Illustrated Books now being shown at the Fogg Art Museum.
Miss Laura H. Dudley discusses Florentine woodcuts; there is a short notice of the "Sacre Rappresentazioni" from the point of view of the student of the drama; and Mr. George Norbet Kates discusses "Paradise in the fifteenth century", as illustrated in one of Savonarola's sermons and by various fifteenth century painters. Letters from Mrs. Henry R. Newman, Miss Margaret Jackson of Wellesley College, and Dr. Denman H. Ross on Mr. Henry R. Newman, the collector of the Savonarola books, give an added personal interest to the exhibition.
The books are to remain at the Museum until Thursday, December 8.
