About This Item
J. M. Dent & Sons Ltd. - Everyman's Library, 1937. Hardcover. Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. No Dust Jacket. Binding a little sunned.Owner inscription.Benvenuto Cellini - 3 November 1500 - 13 February 1571- was an Italian goldsmith, sculptor, draftsman, soldier, musician, and artist who also wrote a famous autobiography and poetry.The autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini was started in the year 1558 at the age of 58 and ended abruptly just before his last trip to Pisa around the year 1563 when Cellini was approximately 63 years old. The memoirs give a detailed account of his singular career, as well as his loves, hatreds, passions, and delights, written in an energetic, direct, and racy style. They show a great self-regard and self-assertion, sometimes running into extravagances which are impossible to credit. He even writes in a complacent way of how he contemplated his murders before carrying them out.
