Additional Reading
There is a full bibliography, from the 14th century to 1937, in Roberto Salvini, Giotto bibliografia (1938). The earliest important biography is by Giorgio Vasari in his Vite, published in Florence in 1550 and 1568; the 1550 edition has not been translated, but there are many English versions of the 1568 one. Full-scale monographs are Roberto Salvini, Tutta la pittura di Giotto, 2nd ed. (1962; All the Paintings of Giotto, 1963); and Cesare Gnudi, Giotto (1958; Eng. trans. 1959); and special studies include P. Murray, “On the Date of Giotto’s Birth,” in Giotto e il suo tempo (1971); Alastair Smart, The Assisi Problem and the Art of Giotto (1971); Leonetto Tintori, and Millard Meiss, The Painting of the Life of St. Francis in Assisi (1962); James Stubblebine (comp.), Giotto: The Arena Chapel Frescoes (1969); Leonetto Tintori and Eve Borsook, Giotto: The Peruzzi Chapel (1965); and Laurie Schneider, Giotto in Perspective (1974).
