Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on Painting
There was also a society Of sculptors (magistri Lapidum) at Siena, whose statutes were translated into the vulgar tongue as early as 1292: the original statutes may have been framed as early as 1233, and not later than 1270 or 1286, as they were made under a certain government of Siena, which originated in 1233, and ceased at one of the latter dates mentioned. There were sixty-one sculptors at Siena at this time.
