  Traces the history of the idea of 'grace' from ancient times to the 1700s. This book examines the Middle Ages, when the concept acquires a more specifically religious meaning (divine mercy, thanks), and the Renaissance, when the terms 'gracefulness' and 'elegance' come to dominate in the treatises of the time.
