"Worldly Goods is a notable achievement...for the depth and richness of the historical panorama it presents. Lisa Jardine's attention to the material side of things, to the profusion of goods that characterized the Renaissance and the varied energies expended in aquiring them, is an important explanatory complement to the many histories of the period that have dwelt on the sublime works of art." Richard Berstein
