Talk:Roger de Piles' artists from Lombardy

Merger
This section of a larger book should be merged into a new page covered by the entire book (e.g. The Art of Painting and the Lives of the Painters). Also, references will be needed to establish notability of the larger book itself. I, Jethrobot drop me a line 07:03, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Copied from my talk page: I suppose this is a good idea, and I would support it if you want to do it. I decided to break the book up into chapters precisely because I don't have the information you require, namely, the orginal publication from 1699. I am working from two copies, a French copy from 1715 and a Dutch translation from 1725. I have as yet been unable to get the information about the way the entire book was published, and from the Roger de Piles article it appears that the "balance" was first published as a separate document (it is in both of the copies I referenced). If you have this information, go ahead and make the book article, and then merge the lists in as subsections. That's fine with me. I have two more lists to go (Rome & Venice), so I will put those whereever you decide they need to go. Jane (talk) 08:48, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
