N2  - "The Treatises of Benvenuto Cellini on Goldsmithing and Sculpture" by Cellini is a historical account written during the late 16th century. This work is a详细 examination of the goldsmithing and sculptural techniques used during the Renaissance, reflecting Cellini's own experiences as a master craftsman. The book serves as a practical guide for artisans, filled with personal anecdotes and technical insights into the craft of goldsmithing and sculpture.  The opening of the treatises establishes the author's intention to share his extensive knowledge of goldsmithing with fellow craftsmen, particularly focusing on the art's intricacies and historical context rooted in Florence's Renaissance traditions. Cellini addresses the various techniques and materials used in goldsmithing, emphasizing the importance of skilled craftsmanship and artistry. He pays homage to notable figures in the field and sets the stage for detailed discussions on specific techniques, such as niello and filigree work, that will be covered later in the text.
