Description:
1876 1ed Etruscan Bologna Richard Burton Italian Archaeology Italy Illustrated
Richard Burton was a 19th-century oriental scholar known for his extensive world travels and controversial editions of iconic works. One of his adventures occurred while in Bologna, Italy where he was digging for Etruscan artifacts. He used his findings, along with the research of fellow Bolognese professors, to write 'Etruscan Bologna' which became one of the best resources on archaeological history of Bologna. Burton, whose literature was often over-sexualized and witty, provided a thorough and focused analysis of ancient Etruscans seeking to uncover mysteries on the Roman-influenced culture.

Description:
1671 Catacombs ROME Subterranea Aringhus & Bosio Illustrated Roman Archaeology

Antonio Bosio, an early 17th-century Italian historian, was known as one of the leading spelunkers of his time. His searching of the catacombs of Rome lead to an incredible and highly influential book on Roman history and antiquities "Roma Sotterranea". This book contains descriptions and illustrations of Roman cemeteries and catacomb findings, artifacts, sarcophaguses, and cave wall inscriptions and murals.

Following the successes of Bosio's work, historian Paulus Aringhus published a Latin translation that proved to be just as popular as the original. This 1671 printing of Aringhus's "Roman Subeterranea" includes numerous full-page and in-text engravings and was published in Arnhem, Netherlands – a city not known for its publishing.
