About the book >.>.> He who walks with difficulties along the road of virtue, even if it be (as the saving goes) both rocky and full of thorns, at the end of the climb finds himself at last in a broad plain, with all the happiness he yearned for. And looking down. seeing the cruel path he has trodden amidst perils, thanks God that he has led him to salvation, and with great contentment blesses those labors that had earlier caused him so much pain. And so making up for the sufferings of the past with the delight of the present, without toil though he strives to make those who watch him understand how the heat, cold, sweat, hunger, thirst, and hardship he suffered to acquire virtue, may free others from poverty and lead them to that safe and tranquil state. in which to his great content Benozzo took his repose". With this lengthy introduction Giorgio Vasari com- menced the biography of Benozzo Gozzoli in his Li- ves of the Artists in the Torrentini edition of 1550. reproduced without altera.
