Buonarruoti, Filippo. Osservazioni sopra alcuni frammenti di vasi antichi di vetro ornate di figure trovati ne cimiteri di Roma (Observations on some fragments of antique glass vases decorated with figures, found in Roman cemeteries). Folio. [4]f + xvii + [1 blank]p + 31 numbered engraved plates + [1 blank]f + 324 p including index in 2 columns; 4 additional engraved plates (3 folding). Engraved headpiece on 1st page of text. Numerous illustrations in the text. Large printer s device on title. Ornamental tail pieces. Initials. Contemporary mottled calf; backstrip gilt. Pioneering study of Roman figurative gold-glass roundels cemented to the walls of the catacombs to serve as grave-markers for the small recesses where bodies were buried. The roundels were ornate gilt paste plaques decorating the bases of otherwise plain glass vases owned by the deceased, which were cut away on the death of the owners to adorn their tombs. The figurative design in gold leaf fused between two layers of glass, also known as sandwich glass , is characteristic of the late Roman period (3rd-4th centuries); hundreds of examples of gilt paste plaques have survived. A selection of designs found on recovered fragments is illustrated in the 31 numbered engraved plates showing Greco-Roman and Christian religious imagery and portraits from the early Christian period. The author suggests that early Christian primitive art was meant to intensify the piety of the worshipper. The engraved headpiece on the first text page represents sculptured detail on a Roman sarcophagus in the collection of Cardinal Gaspare Carpegna (1625-1714). The numerous textual illustrations are facsimiles of tomb inscriptions which are explained in footnotes. A separate dissertation on ancient ivory diptychs (pp[229]-283), entitled Osservazioni sopra dittici antichi d avorio , is devoted to figurative 6th century ivory folding note-books, known as consular diptychs , as they were presented to high ranking officials. The examples illustrated in 4 engraved plates (3 folding, between pp254 & 255) include portraits of Consul Anicius Faustus Albinus Basilius (541 AD), an eminent East Roman politician during the reign of Theodoric the Great, Ostrogothic king of Italy, and two fine Byzantine devotional panels; one tablet of a diptych here depicted, then held at Museo della Gherardesca in Florence, is now at the Uffizi Galleries. The author, Filippo Buonarroti (1661-1733), a great-grand nephew of Michelangelo, was an official at the court of Cosimo III Grand Duke of Tuscany, who devoted his leisure time to antiquarian researches; he also published iconographic studies of imperial bronze medals and Etruscan art. A handsome copy with wide margins; occasional minimal traces of foxing in top edges of blank margins. Cicognara 2781; Gamba 1825; Lozzi 4210.…
