Giovanni Battista Passeri's three-volume catalogue of ancient terracotta oil lamps, engraved by Carlo Gregori, Giuseppe Menabuoni and Vincenzo Franceschini and published at Pesaro in 1739 for antiquarians and collectors. Each numbered plate shows a single lamp from above, its disc relief — gods, gladiators, winged Victories, animals, monograms — set in a ruled hatched ground with cast shadow, useful as roundel motifs and medallion frames.
