Rycke, Josse de, 1587-1627 · 1617 · Gandaui, Apud Cornelium Marium · 23 pictures

A 1617 Latin antiquarian commentary by Josse de Rycke on the Roman Capitol, printed in Ghent by Cornelius Marius, describing ancient buildings, deities, triumphal arches and monuments for scholars of antiquity. The pictures are small engraved roundels showing coins and medals with temples, arches, and seated figures inside framed inscriptions, a compact vocabulary of classical architecture a designer could adapt for emblem-like badges, seals or border roundels.
