Both entertaining and practically usefulBy YuriI bought it to supplement my studies of Italian and find it quite useful from few standpoints.First. the text is legible and selectable.so you can select and highlight individual words for review.Second. while it was written in 1518. it amazes me how easy it is to read and understand most of the vocabulary there.The play is. of course. in the public domain so you can find it on the Internet (if so I highly recommend "Bibliotheca Philosophica") . but I bought it anyway as I like to have all my books conveniently in the same place.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
