Casp. Bartholini Thom. Fil. De tibiis veterum et earum antiquo usu libri tres
Caspar Bartholin's 1679 Latin scholarly treatise on ancient tibiae, or wind instruments, printed in Europe for antiquarians and classical scholars, is a learned work of archaeology and music history. Its engravings show ancient musicians, performers and instruments in small framed scenes, offering a designer clear, linear figure studies of classical poses, drapery and crowded tableaux.
