Résumé:

Second Roisecco edition, issued as a three-volume set in 1750 (the first Roisecco edition, issued in two volumes, appeared in 1739) describing and illustrating the ancient, medieval, Renaissance and Baroque monuments and buildings of Rome. This publication marks the culmination of a long series of developments in illustrated guides to Rome. Beginning with the guidebooks produced by Girolamo Francini and his heirs in the late 16th century, pilgrims and tourists to the once-again-thriving Eternal City could purchase increasingly more accurate guidebooks to the ancient and modern marvels of Rome. In the late 17th century, building on the work of Pompilio Totti, Michelangelo and Piervicenzo de Rossi published their Descrizione di Roma." In subsequent editions, the "Descrizione" grew to include the redacted works of various learned authorities. The present 3-volume production, the third to be published by Gregorio Roisecco, is based on the final de Rossi edition of 1727 but has been further expanded to include a third volume
