Osservazioni sopra alcuni frammenti di vasi antichi di vetro ornati di figure trovati ne'cimiteri di Roma

Buonarroti, Filippo, 1661-1733 · 1716 · In Firenze : Nella stamperia di S.A.R. per Jacopo Guiducci, e Santi Franchi · 47 pictures

An antiquarian study by Filippo Buonarroti, printed in Florence in 1716, cataloguing gold-glass vessel fragments found in the Roman catacombs for scholars of early Christian and classical antiquity. Numbered copperplate engravings render each fragment as a circular medallion with chipped, irregular edges, filled with frontal figures, saints, married couples, chi-rho monograms and lettered inscriptions inside dotted, toothed and beaded borders.
