Petrarch?
[edit ]I'd be interested to read about Fiske's Petrarch collection, but I (a very long way from Cornell) am not competent to research it myself.
Incidentally, see Talk:Morris Bishop#Fiske_Petrarch_collection. -- Hoary (talk) 01:47, 7 July 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
Photograph
[edit ]The first photograph of Fiske needs to be reversed. As noted in http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/extra/whodunit.html, the frontispiece of "Chess in Iceland" was a mirror image.Chess2050 (talk) 14:31, 16 December 2019 (UTC) [reply ]
- Chess2050, the page you linked to ("2004, with updates") says: (As mentioned in C.N. 7860, this is a corrected version of the frontispiece to Fiske’s book Chess in Iceland and in Icelandic Literature (Florence, 1905), which gave the photograph as a mirror image.) "C.N. 7860" (dated 2012) appears shortly below this ... but it seems to cite the page you linked to. Neither appears to give any reason to believe that the image is reversed. -- Hoary (talk) 00:27, 4 March 2020 (UTC) [reply ]
