Archæologiæ atticæ libri tres : three books of the Attick antiquities, containing the description of the cities glory, government, division of the people, and townes within the Athenian territories, their religion, superstition, sacrifices, account of their year : as also a full relation of their judicatories
Archaeologiae Atticae libri tres is a 1645 London scholarly treatise by Francis Rous on Athenian antiquities, covering the city, government, religion and law, printed for John Williams in Pauls Churchyard. The pictures are typographic-era woodcut ornaments: a repeating strip of scrolling foliage with roses, thistles and artichoke-like blooms, and a large initial letter I set in interlaced leafy scrollwork, useful as decorative border and capital-letter references.
