Written not long before Vasari’s famous Lives (1550), this sourceprovides an overview of art from Cimabue to Michelangelo. Moreover, theauthor’s ambition was to provide a sketch of the art of classicalantiquity. First published in the late nineteenth century, the Codex hasled to numerous questions, the main one being: who was its author? Webelieve we have found the answer to this question, which led us to comeup with a new edition of the Codex”– Provided by publisher.
