Description(Venice: [1778 or later]) Folio; 33 leaves; contemporary[?rebacked] half gilt-stamped brown calf, red pastepaper boards, patterned pastepaper endpapers.
Author portrait; illustrations of details from sixteenth-century Venetian fresco paintings. Edition datable 1778 or later of Zanetti's publication, first issued in 1760 (date still on title). This edition is after the inclusion of his posthumous portrait and the letterpress "Memoria." In addition, the papers in this and the other MFA copy (BR1203) are different from each other, and the letterpress text has been reset. The portrait is signed "Joannes de Plano" as engraver; it is unclear whether he may be identified with Johann Deplan, known in Prague ca. 1730 (Thieme-Becker). The plates in this copy are printed in brown ink; those in the other MFA copy are printed in black. The copy at the Houghton Library, Harvard, is hand-colored; it also includes the 1778 portrait of Zanetti and the "Memoria."
