  The letters of Bartolomeo Fonzio--a leading literary figure in Florence of the time of Lorenzo de' Medici and Machiavelli--are a window into the world of Renaissance humanism and classical scholarship. This first English translation includes the famous letter about the discovery on the Via Appia of the perfectly preserved body of a Roman girl.
