"it is now possible to acquire even greater respect for one of the most important thinkers of the modern world … In the best of all possible worlds, every scholarly book and translation should be presented as lavishly as Universal Right. Hundreds of footnotes, explanations of thorny translations, letters from Vivo to a fellow historian Leclerc, bibliographies, and publication histories of Vico’s work accompany a text that is always understandable." - in: International Journal for the Semiotics of Law 17 (2004)
