Pazzi, Carlo Faucci, B. Sgrilli, C. Gregori, M. A. Corsi, J. Medici, N. Lebrun, N. Mogalli, J. Gavelli, A. Fiaschi or F. Bartolozzi. Plate 99 of Volume I and plate 96 of Volume III and the unnumbered plates of Volumes I, II and III, the title-page vignettes and some other decorations are signed as drawn by Passeri and engraved by Franceschini.

520 2 # $a Doubt has been cast on the authenticity of most lamps shown here. O. Kurz, Fakes (1948) described Passeri's collection as 'one of the greatest assemblages of fakes ever brought together'; and H.B. Walters, History of ancient pottery, Greek, Etruscan and Roman (1905) omitted references to Passeri's work 'as it has been shown by Dr. Dressel that nearly all those published by him are false'.
