Book description: New York: Harcourt, Brace & Company, 1953. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. This is the definitive modern biography of Lucrezia Borgia as well as one of the most illuminating studies ever written about the violent personalities of the High Renaissance. Lucrezia is chiefly remembered, and unfairly so, for her villainy; but she has finally had full justice done to her rich and fascinating personality. She comes to us now as a passionate and womanly figure moving somewhat uncertainly through the pageantry of the Papal court and through the intrigues, ambitions, and political chicanery which swirled about her. Lucrezia had little in common with the myth which pictures her merely as a raven-haired poisoner. The DJ has small tears at the corners and a 1" tear at the spine top, as well as some chips. The bottom spine is chipped. The ffep are missing, starts with the half title page. Rescued from a hospital library that was closing, has usual stamps. The binding is worn through on the two bottom corners and the flap at the spine is turned in. Covered in blue cloth with a few spots, 343 pages including index. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
