Fulvio, Andrea, fl. 1510-1543, Del Rosso, Paolo, d. 1569, Fulvio, Andrea, fl. 1510-1543. Antiquitates urbis. Italian. 1543 · 1543 · In Vinegia : Per Michele Tramezino · 2 pictures

Andrea Fulvio's 1543 Italian treatise on the antiquities and memorable buildings of Rome, printed in Venice by Michele Tramezino, is an architectural reference for scholars and builders. The pictures are small woodcut frontispieces: a draped woman reading a large open book beside a dark doorway, and a classical figure in a banner title with books and a bookshelf at her feet, suggesting how text and emblem can share a page.
