Hardback. Condición: Very Good Plus. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. Reprint. 1928. Reprint of the Oxford 'World's Classic' edition of 1927 (No. 300). xviii, [i], 535pp. and a 16-page publisher's catalogue. Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571) was an Italian goldsmith, sculptor, and author. His autobiography was started in the year 1558 at the age of 58 and ended just before his last trip to Pisa around the year 1563. 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. Considered a classic, it is commonly regarded as one of the more colorful autobiographies from the Renaissance and one of the most important. Thomas Roscoe's translation was based on Thomas Nugent's, and heavily expurgated. In the present edition the translation has been revised throughout, and the omitted passages have been restored, newly translated from the Italian text. The book is bound in the original green cloth covered boards with gold titling and a blind-stamped design on the spine. The book is in excellent condition and the contents are tight and clean with a name and date neatly written on the front free endpaper.
