Acknowledgements

First of all I would like to thank Ellah Alfrey, formely of Jonathan Cape, who commissioned this work. My present editor at Cape, Alex Bowler, has played a more than significant role in shaping this book. His detailed and insightful suggestions have improved my original work no end, from the overall structure to the smallest historical facts.

I would also like to thank the staff and fellow researchers I encountered on my round of the various libraries and museums in Britain and Italy, some of whose suggestions proved particularly fruitful. My visits to Venice, Padua, Vienna, Paris, Crete and Istanbul over the years have all led me into contact with countless sources who have contributed to this work. As always, the staff in the Humanities 2 Reading Room of the British Library were exceptional.

Once again, no thanks can be complete without acknowledgement of all the work and encouragement provided by my agent, Julian Alexander of the LAW Agency, who for so many years now has been both a helpful and reassuring friend.
