Della descrittione di Malta isola nel mare Siciliano : con le sue antichita, ed altre notitie : libri quattro
A 1647 Maltese antiquarian description of the island of Malta, written by Giovanfrancesco Abela and printed in Malta by Paolo Bonacota, covering its antiquities and other notes in four books. The pictures are small roundel engravings of a bearded or helmeted profile head and of a tripod-like ancient vessel with inscribed lettering around its circle, drawn in fine hatched line that a designer could borrow for classical medallion or coin-style motifs.
