Note 163 — Chapter II · (IX.)
Louisa S. Maclehose translation
The carvers’ tools described by Vasari are the same that appear to have been in use in ancient Greece (see the article by Professor E. Gardner already referred to), that are figured in the Encyclopédie of the eighteenth century, and are now in use. Fig. 2, E to J, ante, p. 48, shows a set of them actually employed in a stone carver’s workshop at Settignano near Florence.
