Catalogue Note
Dans le style des Illustrium Iureconsultorum, Lafréry publie une suite de bustes d'hommes célèbres, tels qu'ils se trouvent dans les palais et jardins romains, avec leur localisation. Mortimer (n° 173) reproduit un titre un peu différent en indiquant 4 feuillets contenant une dédicace au cardinal Granvelle, et donne Aquiles Estaço (Achilles Statius en latin, humaniste portugais, secrétaire du pape à Rome, connu surtout pour son commentaire sur Catulle paru en 1566) comme l'éditeur de cette suite.
