Harvey Miller The Paper Museum of Cassiano dal Pozzo. Series A: Antiquities and Architecture(HMPMA 7) W. Stenhouse Ancient Inscriptions 439 p., 324 b/w ill. + 23 colour ill., 220 x 285 mm, 2002 ISBN: 978-1-872501-45-1 Languages: English Hardback The publication is available. Retail price: EUR 250,00 excl. tax Latin inscriptions found on buildings, tombstones, altars and votive monuments form a rich source of information for historians about classical Rome. By the early seventeenth century, ancient epigraphy had become a highly developed branch of learning, and the drawings of inscriptions preserved in the Paper Museum offer a fascinating insight into this earlier world of scholarship - in some cases providing our only record of the piece being illustrated. The drawings in this volume cover a wide chronological range and provide details about Roman law, the Roman army and officials of the Roman Empire as well as aspects of Roman life overlooked in literary sources. Review " In all, this volume is an excellent and most useful contribution to epigraphic studies." (Brian Harvey in History and Culture vol. 92 (2006), p. 238-240) "Stenhouse has produced a carfeul, judicious catalogue of most of the relevant epigraphic materials from Cassiano's collection and in the process has rendered the corpus not only accessible, but more importantly, comprehensible." (M. Koortbojian, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2004.12.26) Size: 220 X285 mm.
