ODESCALCHI COLLECTION (ENGRAVED GEMS.) [Bartoli, Pietro Santi.] [Collezione di Gemme intagliate la più parte provenienti dal Tesoro de Duca Odescalchi.] Engraved portrait of Odescalchi by Gustave Ameling, dated 1702 and 51 (of 53?) engraved plates. Folio, contemporary calf with gilt spine and Crozat coat-of-arms on covers. Rome, circa 1713
- Notes: likely first edition of the first issue of Bartoli's engravings of the Odescalchi collection of engraved gems and sculptures which had originally belonged to Queen Christina of Sweden. "Commissioned by the Duke from Bartoli... the project of a catalogue was dropped at the Duke's death in 1713 and only a few sets of the plates were printed. It was not until 1747 that they were published with text"--Cicognara, as quoted in Sinkankas 429. The 1747 edition is thus considered the second edition.
