Finally thanks are due to Prof. Cav. Dr. Guido Biagi
(Biblioteca Mediceo-Laurenziana) and to Dr. Salomone

allowing new photographs to be made of (i) a page
from Benvenuto's original MS. (see illustration), and (2)
the Coat of Arms of the Cellini Family (see illustration)
for reproduction herein; to the Rev. Father Ehrle, S.J.,
for special investigations instituted in the Vatican
Library; to Mr. Herbert Horne and Baron de Cosson for
expert advice; to the Rev. Father Herbert Thurston, S.J.,
and Mr. C. J. Holmes, then editor of the

Due recognition must also be proffered to Mr. Percy
Pinkerton, whose graceful translations of the poems
which occur in the Text are a pleasing addition to this
new version of the Hzz^V^TYZ^y.
