To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Simon the Magician challenged Peter and Paul to restore to life a dead youth, who is said to have been a kinsman or nephew of the Boman emperor. The sorcerer fails of course. The Apostles resuscitate the youth, who kneels before them ; the skull and bones near kim represent the previous state of death : a crowd of spectators stand around beholding the miracle. The figures are half the size of life, and quite wonderful for the truth of expression, the variety of character, the simple dignity of ...the forms and attitudes. Masaccio died while at work on this grand picture, and the central group was painted some years later by Filippino Lippi, the son of Fra Filippo. The figure of the youth in the centre is traditionally said to be that of the painter Granacci, then a boy. Among the figures standing round are several contemporary portraits : Piero Guic- oiardini, father of the great historian ; Luigi Pulci, the poet, author of the ' Morgante Maggiore ; ' Antonio Pol- laiuolo, the painter ; and othnrs.
