Inscriptiones sacrosanctae vetvstatis : non illae qvidem romanae, sed totivs fere orbis svmmo stvdio ac maximis impensis Terra Mariqs conquisitæ feliciter incipiunt
A folio corpus of Latin inscriptions from across the Roman world, compiled by the mathematician and printer Peter Apian with Bartholomaeus Amantius and issued from Apian's own Ingolstadt press in 1534 for antiquarians and humanist scholars. The woodcuts set inscription texts inside drawn monuments — altars, stelae, moulded cornices, fluted pilasters and acanthus scroll friezes — giving designers a stock of frames, capitals, running ornament borders and Roman capital lettering.
