Excerpt from A History of Siena I DO not think that any apology is necessary for this book. The Republic of Siena played an important part in Italy in the Middle Ages, and in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. But whilst her neighbour Florence has had many historians, there is no complete history of Siena in any language. Moreover, whilst there are many works in English on subj ects connected with the art and literature of Renaissance, there are but few in our tongue which treat in a serious and scholarly spirit of the history of the Italian States. My original intention was first to tell brie y the story of Siena, and afterwards to compose a fuller account of her troubled, struggling life. But, as time progressed, I determined to attempt to write a book which would both be useful to the historical student and also not without interest to the general reader.

Excerpt from The Story of Siena and San Gimignano This present volume is intended to provide a popular history of the great Republic of Siena, in such a form that it can also serve as a guide-book to that most fascinating of Tuscan cities and its neighbourhood. San Gimignano has been included, because no visitor to Siena leaves the "fair town called of the Fair Towers" unvisited; I have made special reference to it in the title of the book, to lay stress upon the point that, although for administrative purposes San Gimignano is included in the province (and in the circondario) of Siena, its history is practically distinct from that of Siena and is more intimately connected with the story of Florence. The appended list of books and authorities, needless to say, is not a complete bibliography, nor even a catalogue of those quoted in the course of this work. It only represents some of those that my readers will find most useful and helpful, or that will supply further information upon many topics which the limits of this series of Mediaeval Towns have compelled me to treat somewhat cursorily and scantily. The lamented death of Miss Helen M. James deprived us of her assistance in the illustration of the last three chapters, more especially of the two dealing with San Gimignano.

Excerpt from A Pictorial Chronicle of Siena It may perhaps be well to remark that, in illustrating the Tar/oldie, I have credited the reader with at least as much knowledge of the history of the Commune as may be obtained, for example, from a perusal of the article Sz'ena in the Encyclopaedia Britannica and have therefore dwelt at greater length on such pictures as rep resent or symbolize comparatively little known events, like the Pestilence of 1437 and the earth quakes of 1467, than upon those which depict.

Excerpt from Siena: The Story of a Mediaeval Commune The persistent interest manifested by the public in the story of the ItaHan communes will, I hope, make an apology for the present book on Siena unnecessary. The method which I have pursued, however, as well as my general purpose, require a brief explanatory statement. Though availing myself, to the best of my ability, of the work of my many predecessors in this field, I have constantly striven to arrive at an independent view of every circumstance of Sienese history by a personal study of the sources, both printed and unprinted. But while my critical method was as severe as I could make it, during the labors of composition I kept in mind a prospective audience, composed, not of a small group of specialists, but of that larger body of men and women who constitute a spiritual brotherhood by reason of their common interest in the treasure of the past. My book addresses itself frankly to the general reader. A considerable and flourishing group of historical students would have that important, though alas! often mythological, member of the commonwealth wholly ignored, on the ground of his being as incapable of raising himself to the level of the high concerns of scholarship as he is unworthy to receive its benefits. I venture to differ with this opinion, and make bold to affirm my belief that scholarship practised as the secret cult of a few initiates, amidst the jealous and watchful exclusion of the public, may indeed succeed in preserving its principles from contamination, but must pay for the immunity obtained with the failure of the social and educational purposes which are its noblest justification.

Excerpt from The History of St. Catherine of Siena, and Her Companions, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Translation of Her Treatise on Consummate Perfection There already exist in various languages more than sixty Lives of St. Catherine of Siena. In presence of such a fact, an apology seems called for on the part of any one who should propose to add to their number. It will, however, be borne in mind that most of these Lives are little more than translations or abridgments of the original Legend written by Raymund of Capua, the Saint's Confessor: they furnish us with no new facts, and do not even attempt to restore that chronological order of events which was entirely neglected by St. Catherine's first biographer. There are two notable exceptions indeed to which this remark does not apply: the Storia di Santa Caterina da Siena, e del Papato del suo tempo, by Mgr. Alfonso Capecelatro; and the Histoire de Sle. Catherine de Sienne, by M. Emile Chavan de Malan. Of the first-named work it is impossible to speak too highly. The author has brought the public life of St Catherine and her relations with the Papacy within the compass of a single volume, full of historical research, and has made excellent use of some of the Saint's letters. But, as may be gathered from the title of the book, he deals almost exclusively with her public career, and cannot therefore be said to have given us her complete biography. M. Chavan de Malan has attempted a restoration of the chronology of St. Catherine's life, and has consulted many valuable authorities.
