Museum Cortonense : in quo vetera monumenta complectuntur anaglypha, thoreumata, gemmae inscalptae insculptaeque quae in Academia etrusca ceterisque nobilium virorum domibus adservantur, in plurimus tabulis aereis distributum
A catalogue of the antiquities held by the Accademia Etrusca at Cortona — reliefs, bronzes, and engraved gems — compiled by Francesco Valesio, Anton Francesco Gori, and Ridolfino Venuti and printed in Rome by F. Amidei in 1750 for antiquarians and collectors. Alongside copperplate records of gems and carved monuments, framed initial letters sit in hatched landscapes of towers, tombs, columns, and feathery trees, giving designers a ready set of decorated capitals and small classical vignettes.
