| Apart from the usual salutations and dedications, the book starts with an introduction in conventional German. |
| I hadn't planned on ever talking about it publicly, not beyond the dedications in my books. |
| Not for centuries, we were told, have so many temple dedications and rededications been performed. |
| The expectations raised by the prefatory dedications to this book are fully realised in both its felicitous prose and subtle readings. |
| Three of the four dedications involve members of the Gonzaga family, two of whom lived in Rome, the third one residing at the court in Mantua. |
| There's the chance you might also come across a statue of Queen Victoria, but you'll find few dedications to any other women. |
