A scholarly Latin edition of the Gospel manuscript attributed to St. Eusebius of Vercelli, edited with preface and notes by Giovanni Andrea Irico and printed in Milan in 1748 for clergy and textual critics. The plates are engraved rococo head- and tailpieces — shell crests, scrolling acanthus, flower baskets, swags — alongside ruled page frames set with italic Latin lines, useful as symmetrical ornament units, frame corners and typographic texture.
