Princeton University Library was pleased to contribute its publications to a unique exhibit in the Ellen and Leonard Milberg Gallery, telling the story of the book as the centerpiece of Piranesi’s artistic production. What did these volumes mean to Piranesi, who did they bring into his world, and how can the process of making them be understood throughout his career? As the central thread that connects all spheres of his enormous ambition, Piranesi’s books reveal how the artist became the foremost printmaker in eighteenth-century Europe.

- Notes
- Piranesi's so-called catalogo inciso is an historiated listing (image: 39 x 29 cm.) with the line: "Si vendoño presso il medesimo autore nel palazzo del Conte Tomati a Strada Felice, vicino alla Trinità de' Monti" in the lower frame line.
- Below the principal listing there appears another plate continuing the numbered listing to [125], titled "Veduta dello Sbocca della Cloaca Massima", and in the right column listing four additional items: Vasi, candelabri, urne ..., Pianta di Roma ..., Colonna Traiana ..., and Schola Italica picturae ....
- Based on dating of the final additions to the catalogue, Cordaro and Campbell/Ceen suggest the imprint date.
- Ex copy: state XXIV. There are a total of 31 known states, per A. Robison (2009).
