Joannis Ciampini Romani, magistri brevium gratiae ... Opera, in tres tomos distributa : acesserunt eiusdem Ciampini opuscula quaedam selectiora : item appendix, seu notae, in quibus nonnulla post eius obitum innovata recensentur : ac demum auctoris vita, nunc primùm ipsius operibus addita
Collected works of the Roman antiquary Giovanni Giusto Ciampini, issued in Rome in 1747 for scholars of early Christian mosaics, church buildings and Christian antiquities, with plates engraved by Arnold van Westerhout, Giovanni Battista Lenardi and Francesco Polanzani. The engravings record apse and vault mosaics, carved doors, sarcophagi and column reliefs as flat line diagrams with lettered keys and Latin inscriptions, giving designers small figure panels, arch bands, medallion portraits and ornamental frames that can be lifted as isolated units.
