Commentarius Caroli Patani, In Antiquum Monumentum Marcellinae: E Graecia Nuper Allatum
Commentarius Caroli Patini is a 1688 scholarly treatise by Charles Patin on an ancient Greek monument, written in Latin for antiquarians and collectors of archaeology and religious history. Its pictures are small black-ink woodcut and engraved ornaments: a bird-and-rosette headpiece, a grotesque cartouche with a face, a flowered initial letter, and an engraved coat of arms set between pilasters, offering a designer varied historic border, initial and heraldic-plate motifs.
