Good condition.

On the bottom right: 5.

Plate n. 5 of the 2nd edition of the Vestigi dell'antichità di Roma prepared in Rome, by Andrea and Michelangelo Vaccaro, after 1607, probably after 1614. In this edition the series of etchings by Du Perac forms the first part of a volume which also includes "Ornamenti di fabriche antichi et moderni dell'alma città di Roma" by Giovanni Maggi, published in 1600 by Andrea Vaccaro, and "Antiquarum Statuarum Urbis Romae Quae in publicis privatisque locis visuntur, Icones" published in 1584 by Lorenzo della Vaccheria. The volume was published after 1607 (or after 1614) as the statue of the Fauno in the "... Icones" is said to form part of the Borghese Collection, but was owned by the Ceoli family until 1607. However, in the 1614 sale catalogue of Andrea and Michelangelo Vaccaro, the 3 series are still separate. The title page still has the name and address of the previous publisher, Lorenzo della Vaccheria: the only change is the addition of "Parte prima" below the date. Library copy lacks the leaf after the title page containing the dedication text to Giacomo Boncompagni.

Title continues: ... perchè ivi fu.no riposto tutti le ricchezze et ornamenti del Tempio di Salomone, che recho Titto nel suo triompho in Roma, ora in qusto Tempio si vede nelle volte belliss.i partimenti di stucco, vi si vede anco una colonna di marmoro in opera d'ordine corintio con li sui menbri la maggiore degli altri che si vede in Roma.

The volume originally belonged to Thomas Ashby (1874-1931), Director British School at Rome (1906-1925), who inherited his father’s library and continued to enrich the collection throughout his life. The collection was purchased from his widow in 1931 for the BSR Library thanks to a generous donation from the Treasurer at the time, William Russell.
