Leslie Z. Morgan kindly informs me about the sad news that Cecil Grayson,
the great Oxford Italianist and Renaissance scholar, has died. An Obituary
was published in the London Times of May 27, 1998. Since it seems still the
best way to honour the memory of a scholar by keeping alive the knowledge
of his writings, I append a list of his publications which is still nothing
like complete but may already give an impression of the range and
importance of Grayson's activities as an editor, translator and literary
historian. For many of us Cecil Grayson has played a key role as an
unimposing, self-effacing guide of our first steps in Italian and
Renaissance studies, and I am sure that his books will remain our constant
companions also in our future work.
