This includes digressions into such subjects as seventeenth-century Italian marriage customs, music printing and publishing, city planning, domestic architecture and plumbing, and the horrors of the plague: it is also necessarily a compendium of the work of many other scholars.

The differences between this study and its original are of various sorts. The simplest is the discovery of new factual information. The most important of this material is contained in the two ceremonial diaries of Andrea Amici d. Other new material has sometimes led to the revision of conventional wisdom. For example, Claudio Annibaldi convincingly depicted the Devolution of Ferrara and the visit of Clement VIII in not as an effort on the part of the Aldobrandini papacy to prolong the glories of Ferrarese Renaissance civilization but to destroy them and to exterminate along with them the very memory of the house of Este.

In some cases I have simply been mistaken, either in small fact or larger interpretation, and I have gratefully accepted correction by more recent scholarship. For this, the work of Kelley Harness and Suzanne C. Cusick has provided the necessary corrective.
