Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571), born in Florence, was apprenticed to
Andrea di Sandó Marcone, a goldsmith. He completed many important
works both as goldsmith and sculptor in spite of his turbulent life. He
wrote a treatise on sculpture and dictated his famous autobiography to a
secretary. It was first printed in Italian in 1728, in English in 1771, in
German in 1796, and in French in 1822.
The first two volumes of this edition, comprising the Vita, were
edited by Gio. Palamede Carpani. The third volume includes the Due
trattati as well as a series of miscellaneous works.
There was a set of this edition already in the University's collection
when Jefferson made up his want list, but it subsequently disappeared.
It has been replaced in recent years by the present set, the gift of the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation.
