was dead, his son still carried on the business. He, how-
ever, did no work himself, but committed all the shop
orders to a young man who was called Luca Agniolo
da Jesid This man was a peasant, who as a very small
boy had come to work with master Santi. He was small
of stature but well-proportioned. This youth did his
work better than any man that I had ever seen up to
that time, with greatest dexterity and much beauty of
design; and he laboured solely upon large pieces of plate
(^Tvy-f^zz?), that is to say, very handsome vases, bowls,
and such-like articles. Setting myself to work in that
shop, I undertook to make certain candlesticks for the
Spanish Bishop (of) Salamanca.^ These same candle-
sticks were richly ornamented, as far as is suitable to such
work. A pupil of Raffaello da Urbino, named Gian-
