Le Virgile du Vatican et ses peintures

Nolhac, Pierre de, 1859-1936 · 1897 · Paris, Imprimerie nationale · 1 picture

A French scholarly study of the Vatican Virgil manuscript and its painted miniatures, written by Pierre de Nolhac and printed in Paris in 1897 by the Imprimerie nationale for specialists in manuscripts and classical texts. The single picture is a printer's emblem: a central monogram 'IN' framed by a ring of French words, flanked by two winged putti pointing at a crowned shield above, a reminder that state printing houses used engraved devices as identity marks on title pages and colophons.
