Capitolo 58
The Cellini of one day had found a ruby that he believed to have put
or dishonestly, a very pale stone with a thick covering of
the blood of dragon dirtied on its back. When he brought him/it to some of
his/her favourite "dunderheads", they was sure that he was wrong him,
saying that you/he/she had been put by a famous jeweler, and you/he/she could not be
an imposition. Then Welcome immediately removed the stone from
his/her setting, showing with this the fraud. "Then the strength that steals has
is comparative to the crow that tangled out him in the pens
of the peacock", it observes Cellini, while adding that he recommended these
"the old fossils in the art" to volunteer himself/herself/themselves with the best eyes
what them then _wore_. "I could not withstand to say this", it snickers
Welcome, "because all the three of them brought the great gig-lamps on them
noses; and then them all the three gasped to each other shrugged,
their shoulders, and with God you/he/she is blessing, it did away." Cellini says
of a jeweler of Milanese that prepared a great emerald applying a,
very thin layer of the true stone on a great piece of green glass:
he says that the King of England bought him/it, and that the fraud
it was not open for many years.
An errand Cellini was given once for making a magnificent crucifix
for a gift from the Pope to Emperor Charles V., but, as he expresses
it, "I was prevented to end him/it from the certain beasts that had the
advantage of the ear" of the Pope, but when these bad whispererses had this way
"filled with smoke the Pope" that he has been dissuaded by the crucifix the,
Pope ordered that Cellini made a magnificent Breviary instead, this way
what the "job" still he/she remained in his/her hands.

the bathrobe of a statue of the Virgo.
Ghiberti was not turning above his/her attention to goldsmithing, and
