For Love And Glory, IV, p. 28.
Hebo speaks of historical figures unknown to Lissa, including:
Machiavelli (scroll down)
Hiroshige
Buxtehude
I usually expect the last figure in such a list, in this case "Buxtehude," to be in our future and thus not to be found by googling but this time I was mistaken. We always learn by reading Poul Anderson.
A while back, I discussed the plot and themes of For Love And Glory. Currently, this late novel by Poul Anderson is proving to be a fertile source for short miscellaneous posts.
Until tomorrow.

Machiavelli's two primary works: THE PRINCE and THE DISCOURSES covers most of the range of his political thought. THE PRINCE is about what a statesman often has to do in a hard and dangerous world. THE DISCOURSES should be understood as Machiavelli's thoughts on the kind of state he thought might be most workable in this wicked world.
I too thought "Buxtehude" (which certainly LOOKS like a futuristic name) might have been fiction! But, no, he was a real world Danish/German musician and composer.

Kaor, Paul and Sean!
I have a couple of CDs of Buxtehude’s music.

Kaor, Nicholas!
And did you like Buxtehude's music?
