To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

It has been generally considered that they were first used by Luca della Robbia, the Florentine scut^tor, so celebrated for his terra-cotta figures and bas-reliefs covered with stanniferous glaze& Delia Bobbia was bom about the year 1400, and was eminent as a sulptor in bronze and marble before he modelled in clay for terra-cottas. He died in 1481. During his lifetime, and for long after his death, similar work was executed by his assistants Ottoviano and Agostino, his nephew Andrea, and his gr...eat nephews Giovanni, Luca, and Qirolamo. The colours which these masters employed were yellow, opaque blue, green, and violet.
Although Luca della Robbia has usually been regarded as the first to employ stanniferous glazes in Italy, it is not improbable that he may have derived bis knowledge of such glazes from the early samples of Italian Majolica ware, with are coated with a similar enamel, and are apparently of an age contemporaneous with that of Della Bobbia's earliest efforts in this (lirection.t The early examples of Majolica or " Raffaelle " ware resemble the Moorish pottery from which it took its origin.
