Lettera dell' Ab. Gaetano Marini al Sig. Gasparo Garatoni sopra un' antica iscrizione cristiana
This Italian letter of 1772 from Abbot Gaetano Marini to Gasparo Garatoni, printed in Rome, discusses an early Christian Latin funerary inscription and was addressed to a scholar of antiquities. The first picture is a carved ornamental cartouche with a female face framed by scrolls, foliage and pendant tassels, useful for classical decorative motifs. The second shows two inscribed stone panels with capital Roman lettering set in tight justified lines, a model for epigraphic and monumental typography.
