Dust jacket notes read: "This is a story of money, glamour, and scandal (on the highest level); a story of American society and of European royalty; a story of family strife exploding into one of the most dramatic and publicized court battles of the century-the battle for a solemn ten-year-old child, 'little Gloria' Vanderbilt, who in 1934 was the object of the epic custody suit between her mother, the beautiful and penniless Vanderbilt widow, and her aunt, the famous Gertrude Vanderbilt oWhitney, whose78 million could buy her anything she wanted. And what she wanted was 'little Gloria.' The leading characters: Gloria Morgan, who was one of the fabled Morgan Twins (invented by society reporter 'Cholly' Knickerbocker as the quintessential Cafe Society beauties) and who, as a shy, tammering eighteen-year-old, living on nothing a year, did what she was raised to do, becoming the wife of ... Reggie Vanderbilt, at forty-three a worn-out alcoholic who had managed to go through almost25 million in fourteen years and who died only two years after his marriage to Gloria, leaving his beautiful young widow nothing but their baby, their baby's untouchable trust fund, and the Vanderbilt name ... Gloria Morgan's twin, Thelma, who, as Lady Furness, was for years the mistress of the Prince of Wales (until she introduced him to her 'best friend' Wallis Simpson) ... Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, Reginald's sister, a formidable Society woman, a sculptor and the founder of the Whitney Museum of American Art, a woman who conformed-on the surface-to everything expected of American royalty and yet lived a hidden second life as a passionate bohemian ... And the child-little Gloria herself-shunted out of her mother's life, carted around Europe, depending for her existence on her neurotically overprotective nurse, Dodo, who never left her for a single day, and her mad Morgan grandmother, who insisted that her own daughter might murder the child for the Vanderbilt millions. Deserted, 'dressed in rags,' neglected, she became an almost mythic incarnation of 'the poor little rich girl.' This child, who was to grow up to become a world-famous fashion designer, her name-Gloria Vanderbilt-a household word. We come to understand and care about this child as we observe, close up, the astonishing lives and intrigues surrounding her. We see her at the age of ten brought to the courthouse, rushed through mobs of spectators, reporters, photographers. We follow a courtroom drama of sensation after sensation, the judge ultimately banning both public and press, the final scandalous testimony reaching to the heart of the English royal family. We listen to the parade of witnesses-servants, millionaires, society celebrities, aristocrats, family retainers. We watch the judge himself-a classic Tammany pol-becoming another of the many victims of the case, reviled on all sides. And finally we see little Gloria pushed to choose between her mother and her aunt, making the decision that will affect her whole life with nobody ever asking her the basic question, 'Why are you afraid?' For the first time, the thousands of pages of documents and sealed court testimony have been unearthed and explored. Hundreds of people have been interviewed. And a writer completely knowing about society and the period has used all this material to create a compelling narrative of vitality, resonance, and fascination. Combining her extraordinary abilities as an investigative reporter with the skills and sensitivity of a novelist, Barbara Goldsmith has given us a galvanizing story, a whole world of astonishing emotional and social circumstances, unforgettably revealed."

Tizian - Bierwirth, Michael: Tizians Gloria. Studien zur internationalen Architektur- und Kunstgeschichte 15. Petersberg: Imhof, 2002. ISBN: 3935590474
Tadelloses Exemplar. - Mit Literaturverz. - Kapitel: Die Entstehungsgeschichte der Gloria; Bildanalyse; "Gloria dei Beati in Paradiso"; Die Vorbildfrage; Der Kupferstich von Cornelius Cort; Die Zeichnung im Louvre; Die Gloria und der Manierismus; Nachfolge. - Eine beschreibende Analyse steht "... oft im Ruf der Unwissenschaftlichkeit, da sie subjektiv sei. Hierbei wird allzu leicht vergessen, daß nicht die Beschreibung subjektiv ist, sondern die Wirkung eines Gemäldes, einer Skulptur oder eines Bauwerkes. Trotzdem gibt es objektive Kriterien anhand derer sich eine künstlerische Arbeit beurteilen läßt. So kann man z.B. bei der Figurengestaltung, Komposition, Farbigkeit und Lichtbehandlung durchaus zu einem sachlichen Ergebnis gelangen. Dem Vorwurf der Subjektivität läßt sich außerdem entgegnen, daß das betreffende Kunstwerk die primäre Quelle ist und bei einer wissenschaftlichen Abhandlung sein sollte. Die Beschreibung hilft dabei das jeweilige Werk besser zu erfassen. Gerade bei Tizian erschließt sich erst durch eine genaue Bildbetrachtung das spezielle Thema. Diese gestalterische Fähigkeit innerhalb eines verhältnismäßig festen ikonographischen Rahmens ein eigenes Thema zu entwickeln, ist eine besondere Leistung, die bei der Gloria bisher noch nicht erkannt und gewürdigt wurde. Die Beschreibung vermag also durchaus neue, tiefergehende Einblicke in ein Kunstwerk zu verschaffen. Die Erkenntnisse, die sich hieraus gewinnen lassen, sind wiederum überprüfbar, d.h. objektiv und damit wissenschaftlich, denn man kann darüber diskutieren, ob das Angesprochene zutreffend oder unzutreffend ist. Um einen derartigen Nutzen aus der Beschreibung ziehen zu können, muß auch eine dem jeweiligen Kunstwerk adäquate sprachliche Form gewählt werden." (Vorwort).

SOCINUS iunior, Marianus, Commentaria cum profundissima, tum fructuosissima in quatuor (ut vocant) lecturas vespertinas, sive ordinarias, communi Interpretum more in celebrioribus Italiae Gymnasiis praelecta. Pars prima: super nonnullis Infortiati titulis. Pars secunda: super nonnullis Digesti Novi titulis. Hac postrema editione summa fide, ac dilientia in emendandis erroribus adhibita. Venedig, Sub signo Aquilae renovantis, 1585.
Mariano SOCCINI (1482-1556) war Neffe von Bartholomaeus Socinus und Enkel des älteren Mariano Soccini. Unter der Reihe der großen Juristen, die unbeeindruckt von den Strömungen der Zeit im bartolistischen Stile Voprlesungen hielt gehört zweifelsohne Marianus SOCINUS der jüngere. Socinus studierte in Siena und Padua, promvovierte bei Panormitanus. Seinen ersten Lehrauftrag erhielt er an der Universität in Padua, folgte aber bald einem Rug nach Siena, wo er bis zu seinem Tode lehrte. Gleichwohl er im bartolistischen Sinne de more italico docendi lehrte, war er ein humanistisch gebildeter Gelehrter. I. Rubrica FF.
