Tooled vertical scrollwork on top cover near spine. Octavo, 506 pp. Benvenuto Cellini (November 1500 – February 1571) was an Italian goldsmith, sculptor, and author.

That is why I (1) take a lot of pictures and try to describe condition issues as accurately as possible and (2) pack your book purchases with the utmost care before shipping.
