Item Description: | Good condition. On the bottom right: 10. Plate n. 10 of the 2nd edition of the Vestigi dell'antichità di Roma prepared in Rome, by Andrea and Michelangelo Vaccaro, after 1607, probably after 1614. In this edition the series of etchings by Du Perac forms the first part of a volume which also includes "Ornamenti di fabriche antichi et moderni dell'alma città di Roma" by Giovanni Maggi, published in 1600 by Andrea Vaccaro, and "Antiquarum Statuarum Urbis Romae Quae in publicis privatisque locis visuntur, Icones" published in 1584 by Lorenzo della Vaccheria. The volume was published after 1607 (or after 1614) as the statue of the Fauno in the "... Icones" is said to form part of the Borghese Collection, but was owned by the Ceoli family until 1607. However, in the 1614 sale catalogue of Andrea and Michelangelo Vaccaro, the 3 series are still separate. The title page still has the name and address of the previous publisher, Lorenzo della Vaccheria: the only change is the addition of "Parte prima" below the date. Library copy lacks the leaf after the title page containing the dedication text to Giacomo Boncompagni. Title continues: ... .A. ne dimostra parte della casa d'Augusto .B. uno Nichio grande che era in mezzo del'Atrio overo cortile Palatino .C. il loco dove erano le scale per montare in detta casa o'vero Palazzo nel quale non molti giorni sono si cavorono bellissimi fragmenti di marmo che ornavano la facciata di detta scala .D. un pezzo d'Aquedotto per il quale veniva l'aqua Claudia per servitio di detto Palazzo et de tutto il monte. |
