"The text presented here Francesco Bocchi's Le Bellezze della citta` di Fiorenza The Beauties of the City of Florence originally published in 1591 is one of the most remarkable of Renaissance writings on art and thus an especially valuable document of the culture within which and for which Renaissance art was made. It is not exactly the first guidebook nor is it entirely an art guidebook in the modern sense of the word but it marks an important step in the history of guidebook literature perhaps the definitive step in the formation of the modern genre." - p. 3.
