Publisher: s.n.
Published: 1537
Place of publication: Italy
Language: ita
Number of pages: 16
Subjects: Details; Early works to 1800; Antiquities; Pictorial works; Architecture
Notes: First leaf is engraved t.p., the rest are engravings of Roman capitals, entablatures, etc., nine of them provided with dimensions. Four are signed in the plate with the initials G.A. beneath a caltrop; one of these has the additional monogram C.R. Three have the monogram P.S., together with the date 1537.

The Ornamentstichsammlung lists 4 works of Roman architectural details signed with the initials G.A. or P.S., but makes no mention of a t.p.  Entry no. 3902 in the Ornamentstichsammlung (19 leaves) has G.A.  No. 3903 (11 leaves) has P.S.  No. 3904 (3 leaves) has P.S.  No. 3905 (30 plates on 16 leaves) has both G.A. and P.S.  It seems that the present work may consist of leaves from one or more of these works. This circumstance may be related to the broken sequence of pencilled numeration ("2" through "28") in the upper right-hand corners of leaves [2-11]. Old identifications of G.A. with "Tribolo" and P.S. with Jacques Prevost are reflected by annotations in ink on leaves [5] and [9]; see Nagler.
