(EN) Claire Pace, Pietro Santi Bartoli: Drawings in Glasgow University Library after Roman Paintings and Mosaics, in Papers of the British School at Rome, vol. 47, R. Clay and Sons, 1979, p. 119, JSTOR 40310762.
«The ultimate aim of Bellori and Bartoli, in this venture, was to compile and publish in engraved form a complete corpus of copies of all Roman paintings known at the time: a project in sympathy with the spirit behind Pozzo’s Museo Cartaceo. In fact, before all the engravings could be published, both had died, but Pietro’s work was continued by his son Francesco, while Bellori was succeeded as learned commentator by Michel-Ange de la Chausse. Of the volumes that were published, the earliest was a description of the recently excavated Tomb of the Nasonii on the Via Flaminia: Le Pitture antiche del sepolcro de’ Nasonii (1680); this went into several editions. This was followed, after Bellori’s death, by Bartoli’s publication of Gli antichi sepolcri . . . (1697), produced shortly before Bartoli’s own death (reprinted 1727 and 1768). The illustrations of the tomb of the Nasonii were republished, together with other paintings, under the auspices of Francesco Bartoli and La Chausse, as Le Pitture antiche delle grotte di Roma e del sepolcro de’ Nasonij, 1706. (There was a Latin translation, Picturae antiquae cryptarum Romanarum, which went into several editions.)»
