Octavii Ferrarii De Re Vestiaria Libri Septem: Quatuor postremi nunc primum prodeunt: reliqui emendatiores & auctiores. Adiectis iconibus, quibus res tota oculis subiicitur
Octavio Ferrari's 1654 Latin treatise on ancient Roman clothing, published in Padua with engraved plates, was aimed at scholars and antiquarians. Its pictures are small engravings of standing togate figures, sometimes over a grid, showing how draped garments fell on the body, a useful reference for historical costume drapery.
