BARON VON STOSCH´S ENGRAVED STONES 1760. WINCKELMANN, JOHANN JOACHIM. Description des pierres gravées du feu baropn de Stosch dediée a son eminence monseigneur le cardinal Aléxandre Albani par M. l´abbé Winckelmann bibliothecaire de son eminence. Florence, Andrea Bonducci, 1760.
4to. 232 x 171 mm. (8), 596 pp. Worn contemporary half calf. Spine slightly sooty, boards with repairs. Damp in margins throughout, waxing and waning, though only occasionally affecting text. Some foxing. Stains on pp. 594-96. Crossed-out signature of S. Piper on title, exlibris of Nils Gyldenstolpe on front board inside.
The heirs of baron Philipp von Stosch turned to Winckelmann for cataloguing the deceased´s large collection of engraved stones, in the hope of selling them. This succeeded in 1765, when Frederick the Great of Prussia acquired the entire collection.
The catalogue was printed in c. 800 copies, a handful on larger papers and illustrated are also known.
