Classical Manuscript Illustrations. The Paper Museum of Cassiano dal Pozzo. Series A, VI
Claridge, Amanda and Ingo Herklotz: Classical Manuscript Illustrations. Harvey Miller, 1999. Series: The Paper Museum of Cassiano dal Pozzo. Series A, VI. 424 pages, with 224 colour and 46 black and white illustrations. Cloth. 28.5 x 22cms. Catalogues 160 drawings derived from five ancient manuscripts, the majority copied for Cassiano between 1632 and 1634: the famous Vatican Vergil, the so-called 'Roman' Vergil, the Vatican Terence, and the less well-known Palatine Agrimensores, all in the Vatican Library. A fifth codex, now lost, known as the Chronography or Calendar of the year 354, completes the selection. Introductory essays provide an overview of the dal Pozzo commissions, the manuscripts and their history down to Cassiano's day, as well as their study in the wider context of classical scholarship through to the eighteenth century. All the drawings are reproduced in colour at full page, with accompanying descriptions of the subjects or relevant ancient verses in modern translation and brief commentaries.
