- English abstract
- The ‘Oxford Codex’ of Pirro Ligorio is an album of 180 folios of diverse material mostly by Ligorio. The folios date between the 1540s and the 1580s and include drafts of material found in more finished form in his Paris and Neapolitan codices on the topography of the city of Rome and of the Campagna, especially the tombs lining the consular roads radiating from the city, on ancient dress, and on ancient religious practices. This book by Campbell provides an introduction and commentary in English, images and an edited and annotated version of Ligorio's Italian text.
