Benvenuto Cellini John Addington Symonds John Wyndham Pope-Hennessy
This work is the only known autobiography of a Renaissance artist. It describes not only the artist's life at the Papal Court in Rome and at the Royal Court of France but makes very vivid historical writing, including, as it does, an eye-witness acount of the Sack of Rome in 1527.

Poet, essayist, and literary historian, John Addington Symonds (1840-1893) delved into every field of the humanities, writing the celebrated Renaissance in Italy and publishing translations of the Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini and the Sonnets of Michelangelo and Campanella; he wrote biographies of Shelley, Sidney, and Jonson, and collaborated with Havelock Ellis on a number of projects in sexology. He is remembered for his untiring efforts to loosen the restraints on homosexuals in England, and his Memoirs are the only diary of a Victorian homosexual of his stature.

Symonds (1840-93) was an English essayist, poet, and biographer best known for his monumental seven-volume cultural history of the Italian Renaissance. Since the work was more a series of extended essays rather than a systematic history, it lends itself well to this selection and abridgement performed by his friend and approved by Symond's wife, who supplied the brief preface.

According to a vague tradition the Simoni drew their blood from the high and puissant Counts of Canossa. Michelangelo himself believed in this pedigree for which there is however no foundation in fact and no heraldic corroboration. According to his friend and biographer Condivi the sculptor's first Florentine ancestor was a Messer Simone dei Conti di Canossa who came in 1250 as Podesta to Florence.
