Cellini, Benvenuto & John Addington Symonds. THE LIFE OF BENVENUTO
CELLINI, WRITTEN BY HIMSELF... New York; Brentano's: 1906. A popular
edition of the classic translation by John Addington Symonds, which also
includes a biographical sketch of Cellini by Symonds and an original
introduction by Royal Cortissoz. The work itself, in almost any edition,
is a classic, much more than the simple memoir of a 16th century
Florentine goldsmith. Cellini was observant, shrewd, witty, bawdy, and
vain, and his work continues to shine and entertain centuries after he put
pen to paper.

2 volumes. Hardcover. 6"x9.5", xx + 360 pages, vii + 387 pages; 40 b/w
plates with tissue guards; bound in brown half-leather with raised bands
and gilt decorations; spines ever-so-lightly sunned, a little wear, slight
fading at the edges, a few small chips, etc, but a very nice, handsome
set. [05784] $125.00
