CHAPTER X
(1530)
Cellini continues his labours in the workshop of Raffaello del Moro,
who desires to marry him to one of his daughters.—This maiden
suffers from a disease in her right hand, which is cured by Master
Jacopo of Perugia. Our hero contracts a friendship with Mon-
signor Gaddi, with Annibale Caro, and with other learned per-
sonages.—He strikes a coin, upon which is a figure of GY.
2^ -sv%.—His brother is slain in a scufHe with the
City Guard.—The epitaph set up by Benvenuto upon his brother's
grave, and a description of the family Coat of Arms.—Cellini slays
the assassin of his brother.—His shop is broken into, and he is
robbed of everything of value, except the Pope's jewels.
T STILL continued working in the shop of that Raffa-
ello del Moro above-mentioned. This honest man
had a pretty little daughter, for whom he had conceived
designs upon me; and I having partly divined this, was
desirous of it also; but, although I cherished this desire,
I showed no sign of it whatsoever; rather I remained so
discreet that I aroused his astonishment. It chanced that
this poor girl had contracted a disease in her right hand,
which had decayed those two small bones ** which con-
nect the little finger and the other finger next to it. And
because the poor child was, through the carelessness of
her father, treated by an ignorant quack, who said that
^ Probably "metacarpal " bones.
