Jac. Philippi Tomasini De tesseris hospitalitatis liber singularis : in quo jus hospitii universum, apud veteres potissimum, expenditur
Jac. Philippi Tomasini's 1670 Latin treatise on tesserae, the Roman tokens of hospitality, published in Amsterdam by Andreas Frisius and illustrated by Abraham Blooteling for classical scholars. The plates show inscribed bone and ivory tokens, split coin-like tesserae with heads and animals, and a formal scene of guests received at a house, all rendered in fine engraved line.
