A 1715 Roman folio on the Vatican basilica of St Peter and papal coinage, compiled by Filippo Buonanni with Giovanni Girolamo Frezza, Arnold van Westerhout and Giovanni Battista Sintes, and printed by Georgius Plachus for scholars and collectors. Its engraved plates show papal tombs, sculpted monuments in niches, a palace facade and a grand staircase, with crisp line work, classical orders and architectural perspective that a designer could use for baroque ornament and monumental framing.
