5.0 out of 5 stars
thorough, if a little stuffy, as it should be,
This review is from: Platina: On Right Pleasure and Good Health (Medieval & Renaissance Texts & Studies, V. 168) (Hardcover)
While the first portion of this book details Milham's review and history of extant manuscripts of "De honesta voluptua" (On Right Pleasure...), I believe the true value for me lies in the second portion which comprises better than 3/4ths of the entire work. Milham's side by side copies of the original text and her translation are the true meat of the book. For the entire work, the scholarship is exacting, the notes copious, and the bibliography extremely complete. Well worth the price for the serious recreationist-collector (especially members of the SCA).
