Theatrum Ethnico Idololatricum Politico-Historicum Ethnicorum Idololatrias, simulacra, Templa, sacrificia & Deos: Illorum Origines, Ritus, & Caeremonias ...
A 1699 Latin treatise on pagan gods, idols and rites, compiled by Vincenzo Cartari and edited by Paul Hachenberg, held by Heidelberg University Library. Its small framed engravings, numbered as images, show classical mythological scenes with draped figures, armour, animals and landscape backgrounds. A designer could draw on their compact composition, crisp hatched line work and classical costume for mythological or antiquarian graphics.
