Catalogue Note

Cette troisième édition, rare, confirme le succès durable de cet ouvrage au cours de près d'un siècle : « ouvrage qui à côté de celui de Nardini s'élève au-dessus de toute la littérature topographique du XVIIe siècle. » Il est illustré de 4 grandes planches dépliantes et de nombreuses gravures illustrant Rome, ses monuments et ses alentours.
