This volume presents the four extant versions of Vida's mythological poem Scacchia Ludus, together with an Introduction and an English verse translation. "Chess researchers are served by the publication of Di Cesare / Vida's work, which is very nearly perfect, a model of scholarship and urbanity... Dr. Di Cesare has the gratitude of all Renaissance scholars ..." (Richard B. O'Keeffe in The Sixteenth Century Journal VIII,3, 1977).
