Rare edition dedicated to Cardinal Geronimo Casanate. The work includes 17 plates engraved by the Perugian Pietro Santi Bartoli. Brunet IV, 1405; Cicognara 3857: "Under each print are the declarations carved in copper; there are 138 plates collected in this Chalcography and reproduced with this title page, which had previously been used in similar works, as can be seen from the retouched plates, and again numbered to reduce them to this order"
