Nearest book meme
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
"The initial deposition of Lusanna's procurator (\14 July 1455) is in another volume redacted by Mazzei: NA, M 342 (1439-1482), fol 103r-104v."
Guess who bought a ton of Renaissance books at the Uffizi today?
(Clue: ME!)
Agnolo Bronzino's portraits stood out this time around.
Love!

I thought so! Of course, what I'll have to pay to ship them home won't be QUITE as cool...

yeah...shipping is not so cool
But I still think the wonderfulness of books from the Uffizi should outweigh that :p (not that I'm the one who has to pay for the shipping)

It does, of course! It's just that after shelling out 135 Euro in postage I'm reluctant to admit it.

I don't have a live journal so I'll use yours.
"Title Nine is going to be the destruction of high-school sports"
The books are just not the same. Except to help you relive the memories. Being there amongst it is what really counts (or rocks in your patois).

Wow, THAT's an interesting one!
Of course the books aren't the same! But I only bought one Uffizi related books anyway. I mainly bought crucial primary sources that are difficult to get in Australia or that I want to read while I'm here, like the Decameron and Vasari's Lives of the Artists. Nick and Jake are buying me Dante's Inferno for my birthday too. *geeky sigh*
Anyway, they'll remind me, so I won't forget the really beautiful ones entirely. But no copy does justice to, for example, The Birth of Venus.

Yeah I was pleased with it and it IS reasonably random. My hand first touched Davies' Europe but that was just a bit too 'on message' so I moved over a couple. I don't think you EVER truly forget if you are really moved as it sound you have been. If my experience is anything to go by there is always a little glimmer that can be fired up again fairly easily.

I hope I get to go back to Florence! Never going back to the Uffizi is not a nice thought.
