by Lauro Martines
Poorly written (the author's english is stilted)' neither analytical nor synoptic..., lots of prosopography, which is dull, but not a scholarly treatment, etc... Disappointing
This book details the plot to kill the Medici that resulted in the death of one intended target. Martines does a good job of giving background to the story and providing the reader with nice character sketches. At times the prose is a little dry, but, hey that happens.What I found interesting was ...
worth the read (as is his one on the vil friar. i hate that man!)
