Mazzocchi's 1754 Latin commentary on the Heraclean bronze tablets from the Herculaneum royal museum, a scholarly epigraphy work printed in Naples for specialists in ancient Greek inscriptions and archaeology. Its pictures are small rococo ornamental headpieces and cartouches in fine engraved line, with scrolling acanthus, urns, garlands, and a classical profile medallion, useful to a designer seeking eighteenth-century decorative vignettes and engraved ornament.
