(1540-1543)
Cellini commences a salt-cellar and a large silver vase.—The King
confers upon him Letters of Naturalization and the gift of the
Chateau, known as ZWzY AAA.—He casts in bronze the base

of Madame d'Estampes orders from him Works of Art to
adorn the Chateau of Fontainebleau.—He presents to the King
the models for the entrance-door to that Chateau and for a
fountain there.—Madame d'Estampes declares herself Cellini's

Cardinal of Lorraine.-—He entertains the physician Guido Guidi,
Monsignor Girolamo de' Rossi, Bishop of Pavia, and Messer

by the Dauphin and the Queen of Navarre.

and sometimes I employed a great number, according
as I found good ones; for I changed them from day to
