De Roma prisca et nova varii auctores prout in sequenti pagella cernere est
A Latin antiquarian guide to ancient and modern Rome, printed in Rome in 1523 by the bookseller Jacobus Mazochius for a scholarly readership interested in the city's monuments. The pictures are a woodcut historiated initial with leafy vine ornament, a printer's device of a laurel and ivy wreath enclosing letters, and a later bookplate of a classical ruin beside stacked books and an open volume; the decorative woodcuts show how Renaissance printers framed text with foliage and emblem.
