The Electronic Library of Art, volume 2:  The Italian 
Renaissance, part I, is the first of three volumes on Renaissance 
Art in an art history series published by EBook, Inc.  It focuses 
on the early Italian Renaissance, and includes an essay on the 
topic, together with illustrated datacards on over one thousand 
works of art, for most of which there is also a brief 
biographical essay on the artist.  The user is limited to 
searching the datacards based on predefined fields, and the 
screen display of the images will not satisfy a serious art 
historian.  Renaissance I earns a C.
