Ragionamento
An Italian antiquarian treatise by Clemente Biagi, printed in Rome by Arcangelo Casaletti in 1772, arguing about a Roman statue for scholars and collectors of antiquities. Engraved plates show the draped figure with radiate crown, orb and three-headed beast from several angles, with lettered detail keys, plus a woodcut headpiece of scrolling foliage and putti flanking a fountain.
