Harvard Classics-The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini-The Five Foot Shelf of Books Volume 31

By: Lld edited by Charles W. Eliot

The "Life" which Cellini wrote was so the world might know, after he was dead, what a fellow he had been; what great things he had attempted, and against what odds he had carried them through. "All men," he held, "whatever be their condition, who have done anything of merit, if so they be men of truth and good repute, should write the tale of their life with their own hand." The period covered is from Cellini's birth in 1500, to 1562. ( Amazon review)
