This 1793 Naples publication, printed by the Regia Typographia with text by Carlo Maria Rosini and plates by Nicolò Ciampitti, reproduces fragments of carbonised papyrus scrolls from Herculaneum for scholars of classical texts. Each plate is a framed grey field with a single papyrus fragment, its surviving Greek columns numbered below as COL. II, COL. VI, COL. IX and COL. XI. A designer might take the restrained, rectilinear layout and the torn, lined papyrus shapes as a model for archival or antiquarian presentation.
