nal di Monte, who treasured
it as a very rare thing, which in truth it is. The words painted in the
picture, which alone are to be seen by him who looks at it from the
ordinary point of view, as one looks at other pictures, are these--

HEus tu quid viDes nil ut reoR
Nisi lunam crEscentem et E
Regione posItam quae eX
Intervallo GRadatim utI
Crescit nos Admonet ut iN
Una spe fide eT charitate tV

Verbo dei crescAmus, doneC

In quo et a quO mortales omneS
Veram lucem Recipere sI
Speramus in vanUM non sperabiMUS

In the same guardaroba is a most beautiful portrait of Signora Sofonisba
Anguisciuola by her own hand, once presented by her to Pope Julius III.
And there is another thing of great value, a very ancient book with the
Bucolics, the Georgics, and the AEneid of Virgil, in characters so old,
that it has been judged by many men of learning in Rome and in other
places that it was written in the very time of Caesar Augustus, or little
after; wherefore it is no marvel that it should be held by the Cardinal
in the greatest veneration.

And let this be the end of the Life of the painter Taddeo Zucchero.
