Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.
The index was not fully checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.
In the List of Woodcuts, the reference to the illustration on page 94 was added by the Transcriber.
Page 19: “ř” represents an “r” with a tilde “~”; “š” represents an “s” with a tilde “~”.
Pages 19 and 96: Letters preceded by “^” are superscripts.
Pages 36, 37, 38: the illustrations on these pages are multi-part symbols. In the original book, they were printed in-line with the surrounding text, but in this eBook, they are shown on lines of their own.
Page 110: “Isotta da Ramini, in her portrait by Pietro della Francesca” was printed that way, as was “Cappaccio”.
