Vita di Benvenuto Cellini orefice e scultore fiorentino da lui medesimo scritta.... Colonia [i.e. Naples]: Pietro Martello, [1728]. 4to (263 x 189 mm). [8], 318, [2] blank, 8 pp. Title page in red and black. Engraved portrait frontispiece. Period vellum, edges speckled red, faint manuscript spine title. Minor soiling and foxing to margins, minor worming to spine. Provenance: Bernardine Murphy (bookplate). FIRST EDITION. Cellini's now canonical first-person account of his fast and violent life in sixteenth-century Italy was circulated in manuscript for 150 years until this first printing.
