Edition Notes
By Pierre d'Hancarville, according to Barbier, who gives Naples ca. 1771 as probable place and date for the ed. in French only, rather than French and English. Title of present ed. has been changed from that cited by Barbier (Veneres et Priapi uti observantur in gemmis antiquis), and so is probably later.
Engraved throughout. Text printed sanguine. Text of ten-page preface, v. 1, within black frames printed from separate plate.
Pagination, v. 1: [35] leaves, 30 leaves of plates; v. 2: [36] leaves, 35 leaves of plates. Title leaf of v. 1 numbered as 1st plate, that of v. 2 unnumbered.
Barbier, A.A. Ouvrages anonymes, IV, 1399
Plates and title leaves of Getty copy hand colored.
