INDEX
Note: Variant spellings of personal names abound in the text. Although small, obvious errors can safely be corrected, more radical corrections would make the reader’s task of tracking down a name harder rather than easier. Therefore, many of the variants have been left as separate entries in the index. Readers may want to scan adjacent entries and similar-sounding names.

COLOPHON
This book is set in Bembo, a font which originated in Venice, an important typographic center in 15th and 16th century Europe. The original design, cut by Francesco Griffo circa 1499, was lighter and more harmonious in weight than earlier roman faces and the text was more inviting and easier to read. The font was revived in the early part of the twentieth century by the English Monotype Company. In the 1980s, Monotype produced a faithful digital rendition of the original metal revival. The display type is Bell, a font designed by Richard Austin in 1788.
