As far as I can remember, His information is well-corroborated in King. In April, I made a quick and somewhat shallow perusal of a book of Michelangelo's writings/letters/poetry, and decided that I know enough for now. Rona Goffen's 2002 "Renaissance Rivals" (Yale) pretty much puts M. as the man to beat in those days. I haven't finished it, but it's a fun read.
