Boniface Amerbach by Hobein
Capito has derived great joy in recent days from two sources. One is the collected letters of the Amerbach family of Basel. I worked some with the father, drank a little with the sons, and relied on Bruno to bring me books from the Frankfurt fair. You shall have to give the site your email and a password, but that is a pittance for the excellent scholarship which stands behind these translations.
The other study to which I wish to direct you, Gentle Reader, is an article on the painter, Hans Holbein. The author discusses Holbein’s relationship to the English Court. I always felt pity for Holbein’s wife, left behind. But one values a thing according to one’s perception. Visit this delightful site often to live among the peaks of art.
