Synopsis

Explore a rich, early 18th‑century project to gather and publish forgotten inscriptions, medals, dissertations, and notes from antiquity.

This volume gathers material collected by Samuel Jebb to illuminate lesser‑known works and fragments, offering a window into how scholars of the era organized and shared antiquarian discoveries. The preface and selections reveal the aims: to rescue useful items from obscurity and to present critical notes and readings from manuscripts otherwise hard to access.

Readers will encounter descriptions of inscriptions and monuments, short critical dissections of authors, and practical notes on antiquity. The collection also previews plans for ongoing issues that would broaden access to ancient texts and historical materials, making the past more available to curious readers and fellow scholars.

• Selections that illuminate inscriptions and small discoveries from antiquity
• Notes on manuscripts and earlier writers from scattered libraries
• Dissertations and critical commentary to frame historical understanding
• Framing of an ongoing project to publish and circulate learned material

Ideal for readers of early modern scholarship, antiquities, and the history of collecting and publishing learned works.
