- English abstract
- Going beyond standard Grand Tour histories (cultural/economic/urban), this study uses palaeographical and stylistic analysis of unpublished drawings, accounts, correspondence and marginalia (scattered across collections in Italy and the UK) to reconstruct an intellectually and technically ambitious trans-national publishing venture, embracing English money, Italian scholarship, and artistic contributions from both nations. Thomas Coke’s plan (1697-1759) to sponsor an edition of Livy with illustrations based on leading antiquarian scholarship of the day failed, but the scholarly network, financial model and production team were established for his landmark publication, the foundation text of Etruscology: Thomas Dempster, De Etruria regali (Florence, 1723-24).
