Now I thought some of my books were heavy but this one takes the amaretto biscuit. Carefully illustrated medieval text with lots of blue and gold annotation in the Duoma do Sienna and quite exquisite. The library is truly a sensational place to visit and I walked around it twice just to take it in. And if you ever get there then take a look at the ceiling - wow, I busted my leg painting our's white. But while there really is something quite superb about all in the art done in the name of the church, one can't quite get the feeling that its not altogether equitable with socialist ideals. I confess I find that a little troubling. Still this music always helps to smooth a long day into a quiet night.
