Excerpt from Michael Angelo
Several interesting facts have also been obtained from Mr. C. Heath Wilson's biography, published in Florence at the same time, in the English language. In many passages Wilson's work is merely a para phrase oi Gotti's, and its author evidently labored under the serious disadvantage of a slight acquaint ance with the Italian language, wherefore he has made frequent mistranslations, even in the case of Angelo's letters. I have endeavored to avoid these serious errors by re-translating the original letters from the collections of Gaye, Bottari, and Milanesi.
