Beginning from this...
Sayfa 50 - ... representing bookcases, or rather cupboards, with their contents, amongst which are a ship, a tambourine, military weapons, a cage with a parrot in it, and, as if for the sake of variety only, a few volumes of books, over one of which, containing music, with the word ROSABELLA inscribed on its pages, is suspended a crucifix.

Sayfa 49 - Minerva with her aegis, Apollo with his lyre, and the nine muses with their appropriate symbols. A similar small study was fitted up immediately over this one, set round with arm-chairs encircling a table, all mosaicked with tarsia, and carved by Maestro Giacomo of Florence, while on each compartment of the panelling was the portrait of some famous author, and an appropriate distich.
Sayfa 17 - Vasari speaks rather slightingly of this art, and says that it was practised chiefly by those persons who possessed more patience than skill in design ; that although he had seen some good representations of figures, fruits, and animals, yet the work soon became dark, and was always in danger of perishing from the worms and by fire.
Sayfa 28 - Dei qui tollit peccata mundi : ecce de quo dicebam vobis; qui post me venit ante me factus est, cujus non sum dignus corrigiam calceamenti solvere.
