Musei Kirkeriani in Romano Soc. Jesu collegio aerea : notis illustrata

Ordre du Saint-Esprit · 1763 · Romae : Ex typographia Johannis Zempel · 19 pictures

This 1763 Roman catalogue of the Kircher museum at the Collegio Romano, printed in Latin by Johannes Zempel, documents the Jesuit collection of antiquities, chiefly ancient bronzes and sculpture. The plates are fine engravings of reliefs, a bronze vessel, and standing draped statues, shown with clean outlines and careful hatching a designer could study for classical ornament and drapery.
