This is the "catalogue of the vast library on archaeology and art history collected by Cicognara, himself a notable art historian. It is tantamount to a bibliography of the pre-1820 literature on these subjects, owing to the detailed bibliographical and critical notes to the 4,800 works, and is still frequently consulted and quoted." Breslauer & Folter #121. Cicognara's collection is now in the Vatican. Included are chapters on copper and wood engravings, theatrical architecture, sculpture, fete books, costumes, emblems, mythology, roman baths, biblical illustration, music, as well as other topics. The bibliographical descriptions include frequent annotations by the author. Besterman 465.
