Recensioni it was he who interceded for her with Eleonora, not his older namesake (114 n. 29).Similarly, Pietro Tagliavia d'Aragona is sometimes indicated as archbishop of Florence (25), which he never was, and sometimes as archbishop of Palermo (107), which he was.Pallitto also seems to forget that the first Medici duke of Florence was Alessandro (r.1532-36), not Cosimo I (r.1536-74), so her observa- tion that "In 1546, the Medici had been back in Florence for almost a decade" (my emphasis) should read, more correctly, "for almost a decade and a half".And to translate Battro (ancient city of Bactria, now called Balkh) with Kabul on the grounds that Kabul "is more familiar to contemporary readers" (119 n. 71) is just not a good idea; like the two Don Pedros above are two very different men, so Balkh and Kabul are two very different cities.Having said this, however, I rush to add that Pallitto's edition of a selection of Tullias poetry is both welcomed and very usable.As the first bilingual collection of her poems, it opens the way for further discussions of her works by scholars whose command of sixteenth-century Tuscan may need the assistance of a facing-page translation.It also opens the way for the inclusion of Tullias works as classroom read- ings, especially in interdisciplinary courses on women, poetry, or sexuality.Pallitto's verse translation (using slant rhyme, when necessary) allows the reader to savour at least in part the poetic quality of Tullias poems.And, finally, the attractive cover and chap-book format make it an elegant gift: (for those who still enjoy giving or receiv- ing poetry books as gifts).Overall, in spite of a few flaws, this volume is a welcomed addition to the corpus of texts by Italian writers available in English.
