Musae lapidariae antiquorum in marmoribus carmina seu Deorum donaria, hominumque illustrium oblitterata monumenta, & deperdita epitaphia: cum rerum perpetratarum publicis incisis lapidibus, quibus templorum arae, votiua in tabellis, iconum stylobatae, mortuorum sepulchra, facinorumque diagliphica notata insunt: visa in vrnis, vasculis, loculis, lucernis, columnis, obeliscis, plumbeis laminis, tabulisque aeneis signo carminum: quae omnia latiali sculpta stylo, & varijs locis reposita, atque inuenta. Inscriptiones antiquissimas explanant, expeduntque memoriae excerptae notis historicis in quibus reconditarum omnium rerum gentilium, tam sacrarum, quam prophanarum, publico, priuatoque iure perhibetur mentio triplicique cognitae indice. Auctore Ioanne Baptista Ferretio.
