Pontano's Baiae have now appeared in an elegant and lucid English translation by Rodney G. Dennis in the I Tatti Renaissance Library; like all the volumes in this superb new series, the book has been beautifully produced...The I Tatti volumes with their royal blue covers, spacious layout of both Latin text and facing translation, and discreet but detailed annotation, are a bibliophile's delight. Pontano, a discriminating bookman, would have been pleased.
