Excerpt from Prose Scelte di Gio. Battista Gelli, Vol. 1Lare senz' ali e voler navigare senza bussola e senza timone. Condusse il nostro Giambattista lunghi e tranquilli giorni, nè usci mai dalla sua cara Firenze: ebbe bello e venerabile portamen to, e fu di costumi candidi e puri onde in tarda età nell' anno 1565 potè tranquillamente la sciare la mobile scena del mondo.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
