Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1671 Catacombs ROME Subterranea Aringhus & Bosio Illustrated Roman Archaeology Antonio Bosio, an early 17th-century Italian historian, was known as one of the leading spelunkers of his time. His searching of the catacombs of Rome lead to an incredible and highly influential book on Roman history and antiquities "Roma Sotterranea". This book contains descriptions and illustrations of Roman cemeteries and catacomb findings, artifacts, sarcophaguses, and cave wall inscriptions and murals. Following the successes of Bosio's work, historian Paulus Aringhus published a Latin translation that proved to be just as popular as the original. This 1671 printing of Aringhus's "Roman Subeterranea" includes numerous full-page and in-text engravings and was published in Arnhem, Netherlands a city not known for its publishing.

Arnhemiae, Joan Friedericum Hagium, 1671 ; in-12, XXIV pp. + 630 pp. + index, reliure d'époque plein-veau, dos à nerfs (état moyen, coiffes très abîmées.). Antonio Bosio, archéologue maltais du XVIème siècle, avait 18 ans quand il commença à s'intéresser aux catacombes de Rome. A compter de cet âge, il mit 35 ans à fouiller ces dernières et à les détailler. Une fois publié, le livre proposé ici fut utilisé par des pilleurs de tombes qui volèrent objets et ossements. Pour sa part, Pauli Aringhi, prêtre à l'Oratoire de Rome, traduisit l'ouvrage du latin au français. Nombreuses gravures dans et hors-texte. Bon état.
