Publisher's Synopsis
""Dactyliothecae, pars secunda: seu variarum gemmarum, quibus antiquitas in signando uti solita, scalpturae"" est opus Abrahami Gorlaei, quod anno 1695 editum est. In hoc libro, auctor varia lapidum genera et formae describit, quae ab antiquis in signando et ornando usitata sunt. Gorlaeus gemmas aere incisas exhibet, quas in museis Europaeis reperit. Hic liber est valde utilis ad cognoscendum historiam lapidum, et ad intellegendum quomodo antiqui gemmas adhibebant in arte et cultura sua.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
