‎Standard text on servants and slavery in the ancient world. The ranks and offices of slaves are very copiously enumerated. It also offers an interesting glimpse into the working of the household in Roman antiquity, with illustrations of costumes, jewelry, musical instruments, keys, etc. Includes two folding plates of the Roman abacus which was used to compute the prices for sales. A learned antiquary born in Padua in 1571, Pignoria was educated by the Jesuits and a canonry of Treviso was conferred upon him by cardinal Fr. Barberini. This present work is called "a valuable work" although criticised as being diffuse. Third edition. Pignorius' work was first published in Augsburg in 1613.Troisième édition, illustrée de nombr. figures gravées. Travail important sur l'esclavage ainsi que sur la vie familiale dans l'Antiquité. Les figures en taille douce in et hors texte représentent des instruments musicaux, pièces de monnaie, médailles, costumes, signes de reconnaissance des esclaves et servants, etc. Deux planches reproduisent des abaques de calcul "Romanus" et "Augustanus". Graesse V/290; Brunet TM 28989; Hoefer NBG XL/223-224. ‎
