This title was first published in 2001: Paolo Veronese: Piety and
Display in an Age of Religious Reform examines the large body of
religious paintings with which Veronese (1528 -1588) played a
crucial role in shaping Venetian piety. With 117 illustrations (26
in colour) Richard Cocke sets Veronese's work into context, arguing
his mastery of narrative has long been neglected, largely as a
result of Sir Joshua Reynolds's criticism in his Discourses. The
new expressiveness of Veronese's work in his final decade is linked
with the decrees of the Council of Trent, which resulted in an
enhanced display of paintings in Venetian palaces during the 1570s,
matched by the renewed decorative schemes in the city's churches.

The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made
available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of
exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899,
consists of 100 books containing published or previously
unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir
Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and
Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. Volumes 66 and 67 of the
series, edited by E. M Thompson and first published in 1883,
contain the bulk of the diary of Richard Cocks (c.1565 1624),
supplemented by a selection of letters. Cocks was the head of a
trading post established in Japan by the British East India Company
from its foundation in 1613 until 1622, when it went out of
business. His diary describes Japanese society and culture in the
early seventeenth century, as well as the activities of British
merchants there.
