Garrucci, Raffaele: Vetri ornati di figure in oro trovati nei cimiteri cristiani primitivi di Roma raccolti e spiegati. Rome: 1858. xxiv, 111 pages 43 steel engraved plates. Half red morocco. 41x30cms. The first significant publication on paleo-christian gold glass was by Filippo Buonarroti in 1716, Osservazioni sopra alcuni frammenti di vasi antichi di vetro ornate di figure trovati nei cimiteri di Roma, in which he made the extraordinary assertion that the aesthetic crudity of early Christian art, often remarked by connoisseurs of Roman arts, had served to intensify the piety of the worshipper, an early expression of feeling for primitive art. After other studies, the Italian Jesuit Raffaele Garrucci published the first illustrated survey in 1858, with an expanded second edition in 1864. In the 19th century a number of imitations, copies and downright forgeries of Roman pieces were made, mostly in Murano off Venice, by firms such as Salviati. Text in Italian.
