520 2 # $a The celebrated author of the tragedy Merope and founder of the Giornale de' letterati d'Italia, Scipio Maffei was also an accomplished archaeologist and palaeographer. In 1731-2 he published his Verona illustrata, a history based on original documents.

In the present work he descibes the sculpture and inscriptions held in the Lapidary Museum which he himself established at Verona, as well as those at Turin, Vienna and elsewhere. The collection includes several Greek and a few Hebrew and Egyptian inscriptions; which are provided with Latin, and occasionally also Italian, translations.

Several of Maffei's comments take the form of letters to other scholars, such as Baron Bimard, A. Fabricius, A. Mazzocchi, J.S. Assemani and Edmund Chishull.
