N2  - The brief 'Michaelis Angeli vita' (ca. 1527) of Paolo Giovio (1483-1552) is the earliest biography of Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564). In accord with the concerns of humanist art historiography, it awards the first place to Michelangelo among the ranks of artists in the two arts of painting and sculpture in marble. Giovio?s reservations about Michelangelo are addressed, first, to the artist?s character and, second, to his failure to establish an artistic succession. The second complex of criticisms reflects the humanist tradition of art history as a genealogy of masters and pupils, which reflected ancient writings on art. As aids to understanding Giovio?s Latin text, German, Italian, and English versions of the text are provided, as well as an outline analysis of the structure and content of the text.
