Explication de divers monumens singuliers, qui ont rapport a la religion des plus anciens peuples : avec l'examen de la derniere edition des ouvrages de S. Jerôme, & un traité sur l'astrologie judiciaire : ouvrage enrichi de figures en taille-douce
Jacques Martin's 1739 Paris antiquarian treatise on the monuments and rites of ancient peoples, including druids, classical mythology and judicial astrology, engraved for scholarly readers. Copperplate figures reproduce carved reliefs, engraved gems and amulets: satyrs with tambourines, sacrifice and initiation scenes, crocodiles, palm trees and inscribed vessels, mostly in roundels usable as seals, medallions or spot ornament.
