A 1700 Latin scholarly treatise on ancient pagan oracles by Antonius van Dale, published in Amsterdam by the Boom firm, with plates designed and engraved by Romeyn de Hooghe for a learned readership. Its engravings are dense etched crowds of classical temples, processions, and figures in shallow stage-like settings, showing how a designer might build a busy, narrative scene with layered architecture and many small figures.
