Sections 5 and 6 are pl ok. I wonder how many people today know who Anchises was, or even Aeneas, at least in the mythology enshrined in the Aeneid.

Section 10 is pl ok. Thanks, Larry. I'll put in a claim for section 11 if you have time to proof it.

Section 25 is pl ok. Thank you, Claire.

Section 4 is pl ok.

Sections 2 and 3 are pl ok. I'll try to get to section 4 this evening.

Section 1 is pl ok.

Section 3 is pl ok. Thank you, Elijah.

Section 40 is pl ok. Interesting to get into the details of things I knew the broad brush strokes of.

Section 1 is pl ok. Thank you, Elijah.

Sections 36 through 39 are pl ok. In the Florentine setting I'm beginning to feel a bit more on familiar ground, at least from art history (Brunelleschi) and I once was somewhat knowledgeable about the rise of the Medici from a course on the Renaissance and Reformation many years ago.

Section 01 is pl ok. Thank you, Elijah.

Just to let all know, I’m traveling and will get back to proof listening next week.
