Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Literary Source-Book of the Italian Renaissance
In asking of me the volume of Plato which I have with me, and which escaped the fire at my trans-alpine country house, you give me proof of your ardor, and I shall hold this book at your disposal, whenever the time shall come. I wish to aid with all my power such noble enterprises. But beware lest it should be unbecoming to unite in one bundle these two great princes of Greece, lest the weight of these two spirits should overwhelm mortal shoulders. Let your messenger undertake, with God's aid, one of the two, and first him who has written many centuries before the other. Farewell.
