When one reads Vasari's Lives' one should consider that to criticise thebook for it's various weaknesses with bias and his emotive tones is toutterly miss the point of Vasari. The book is what it is, largely aprimary source of the Great Artists from Giotto to Titian. No new versioncan get away from this, to attempt to balance the books opinions would beto create a new and inaccurate version. When one considers THIS book oneshould merely consider the quality of this edition, which is excellent. Superbly put together and marvelously edited.
