2 The doubts about his philological abilities began with his colleague Don Antonio Agustín, who declared that Ligorio could not read Latin and Greek. Mandowsky, E. and Mitchell, C., Pirro Ligorio's Roman Antiquities: the Drawings in MS XIII B. 7 in the National Library in Naples (London, 1963), 2, 29–34Google Scholar. His knowledge of ancient languages was, however, probably adequate to his tasks, and he did not pretend to perfect understanding, often acknowledging assistance from his more scholarly friends, such as Benedetto Egio. Robert Gaston considered that this problem, and the supposed forgeries, were still circumscribed by the ‘Agustin, Mommsen, Hülsen diatribe against his [Ligorio's] linguistic incapacity and moral insufficiency’: Gaston, ‘Merely antiquarian’ (above, n. 1), 371. The irrationalities once inherent in the approach to Ligorio, fuelled by the scholarly narrow-mindedness and methodological inconsistencies outlined by Gaston, can be briefly demonstrated by Thomas Ashby's reference to Ligorio's ‘Neapolitan mind’ that ‘could hardly distinguish between the evidence of his eyes and the figments of his too fertile brain’: Ashby, T., ‘The Bodleian Ms. of Pirro Ligorio’, Journal of Roman Studies 9 (1919), 170–201, esp. p. 170CrossRefGoogle Scholar.

Nor was this the only occasion on which Poussin referred to Ligorio. Anna Schreurs also pointed out instanceswhere the 1561 map was used by Poussin for background architecture, such as the Landscape with Pyramus and Thisbe (1651, Städelsches Kunstinstitut, Frankfurt am Main) and she observed that Ligorio's remodelling of the Vatican Belvedere and the surmounting curved loggia was adapted by Poussin for a commanding outcrop of buildings in the distance of the Landscape with Diogenes (1548, Louvre, Paris)Google Scholar; Schreurs, A., Antikenbild und Kunstanschauungen des Pirro Ligorio (1513–1583) (Cologne, 2000), 289–92Google Scholar. Ligorio's reconstruction of the Temple of Fortune at Palestrina may alsohave been the inspiration for the fantastic structure in the background of Achilles among the Daughters of Lycomedes (1656, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond)Google Scholar, and in the depiction of Ordination from the second series of the Sacraments (1647, His Grace the Duke of Sutherland, on loan to the National Gallery of Scotland) Poussin gave Ligorio's Monumentum Publio Sum. Pacciorum (located at the top right-hand side of the 1561 map) a commanding position to Christ's left, making it an important structural feature of the composition. Poussin also copied Ligorio's illustration of Saturnus et Homo from Gabriele Faërno's Fabulae Centum; see Faërno, G., Fabulae Centum ex Antiquis Auctoribus Delectae, etc. (Rome, 1565), 58Google Scholar, and Rosenberg, P. and Prat, L.-A., Nicolas Poussin 1594–1665 catalogue raisonné des dessins (Milan, 1994)Google Scholar, cat. 192 for Poussin's drawing.

A summary of the personnel comprising Dal Pozzo's circle is all that will be provided here. Herklotz's comprehensive view of seventeenth-century archaeology and antiquarianism, focused around the central figure of the Turin-born, Pisa-educated and Rome-oriented Dal Pozzo, includes profiles of the numerous artists, nobles and eruditi from the period of Dal Pozzo's earliest residence in Rome (1612) until his death (1657); Herklotz, Cassiano dal Pozzo (above, n. 6), 33–52.

18 His correspondents ranged from London to Aleppo, Rome to Abyssinia, and all major European cities between; see the map in Miller, Peirese's Europe (above, n. 13), fig. 1; Solinas, I segreti di un collezionista (above, n. 14), 49–51. His colleague, Bouchard, wrote a book to celebrate Peiresc's activities, Les correspondants de Peiresc, and Bouchard was also the author of Peiresc's funeral oration at the Accademia degli Umoristi in 1637: Peireskii laudatio habita in condone funebri Academicorum Romanorum; Miller, Peiresc's Europe (above, n. 13), 17.

20 Speaking of Peiresc's eventual critical obscurity, Miller commented, ‘never again would an antiquary represent, and be represented as, the idea of individual excellence’, and he observed that Peiresc ‘did not travel’ the ‘high road to the New Science’, the philospher and the scientist being its ‘new heroes’: Miller, Peiresc's Europe (above, n. 13), 157.

24 Mandowsky and Mitchell, Pirro Ligorio's Roman Antiquities (above, n. 2), 35. It is unusual that there is no mention of the manuscripts in the 1644 inventory of the palace, although it may be that the contents of the library were deal t with separately. Bertrand Jestaz found the utter lack of inclusion of any material relating to Orsini's earlier inventories difficult to explain, and suggested that Orsini's collection might have been separated from the material in the palace. The only mention of books and papers in the inventory is in the Studiolo, a brief list itemized from 7316–7320; B.B.

45 Almagià, L'opera geografica di Luca Holstenio (above, n. 32), 13, 35. There is nothing to indicate if this is the 1553 or 1561 map. Roberto Almagià assumed it was the 1553 version, but the title recorded in the inventory — Roma Antiqua Pyrri Ligorii. Roma — seems to relate more to the subtitle of the large map — Effigies Antiqua Romae — than the Urbis Romae of 1553; Almagià, L'opera geografica di Luca Holstenio (above, n. 32), 13, n. 3. If Holste owned the 1561 map it would account for Poussin's knowledge of it — see above, n. 11.

55 Palisca, G.B. Doni's ‘Lyra Barberina’ (above, n. 51), 45. Comparisons can certainly be drawn between the idiosyncratic lyre with the tortoiseshell still in evidence at its base in the Paris ‘Lyra Barberina’ manuscript and Ligorio's coin from Andania in BNN XIII.B.l, fol. 497, as well as its copy in BAV Barb. Lat. 5083, fol. 19, where the copyist seems to have taken some liberties with the original. This type of lyre also appears in BAV Barb. Lat. 4423, fol. 66, called a cithara, Ligorio's preferred term for the instrument, the modern Tuscan ribeca according to Athanasius Kircher; Kircher, A., Musurgia Universalis, facsimile of Rome, 1650 edition (Hildesheim/New York, 1970), 185Google Scholar. Doni distinguished between the lyre and the kithara, the lyre being longer, with more strings, the kithara wider, with shorter strings: Palisca, G.B. Doni's ‘Lyra Barberina’ (above, n. 51), 39.

78 The earliest correpondence recorded between Dal Pozzo and Pignoria is a letter of 1628 from Padua, where Pignoria lived, to Dal Pozzo in Rome. Dal Pozzo did not take up residence in Rome until 1612, but the correspondence could, of course, have begun earlier than the documents record: Herklotz, Cassiano dal Pozzo (above, n. 6), 153. Caterina Volpi said that the majority of Pignoria's correspondence to Dal Pozzo dated from the end of 1629: Volpi, ‘Lorenzo Pignoria e i suoi corrispondenti’ (above, n. 72), 104.

86 The sources used by Pignoria have been outlined by Volpi and include Enea Vico, Antonio Augustin and Sebastiano Erizzo, Van der Nod and Doni: Volpi, ‘Le vecchie e nuove illustrazioni’ (above, n. 72), 61. Volpi also identified Peiresc cameos that provided images for Pignoria, amongst these Scilla, Bacchus and a bacchante: see Cartari, Imagini delli dei (above, n. 82), 134, 331, 332. The correspondence with Aleandro included mutual requests for drawings: Volpi, Le immagini degli dèi (above, n. 79), 61, 63.

93 Mandowsky and Mitchell, Pirro Ligorio's Roman Antiquities (above, n. 2), 59, suggested there was a third relief that Ligorio may have followed, which would account for the slight variation between the angles of the heads in their cats 8 a and b. This need only, however, be a case of artistic licence.

A desire to reconstruct the past using the imagination inspired most reconstructions of antique works of art. Charles McGrath's article on the old and new images of Cartari, for instance, fails to take into account the more imaginative approach to methodology, inspired by idealism, that is encountered in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries: McGrath, ‘The ‘old’ and the ‘new’ illustrations’ (above, n. 72). Peiresc's travels were inspired by a desire to imagine what the past was like: Miller, Peiresc's Europe (above, n. 13), 32.

98 Pignoria, L., Magnae Deum, Matris Idaeae & Attidis Initia, etc. (Venice, 1624)Google Scholar, consists of twenty printed pages; pp. 7–9 is a front and back view of a figure wearing trousers, evidently derived from Attis's garment as depicted on the altar. On p. 17 is another image of Attis plainly taken from the altar relief or a drawing of it. See also Volpi, Le immagini degli dèi (above, n. 79), 229–31.
99 The statues were known to Aleandro both in the Corradini collection and in his own; Volpi, ‘Le vecchie e nuove illustrazioni’ (above, n. 72), 61, also pp. 99ff. for Pignoria's correspondence with Aleandro and Peiresc.
100 Ligorio BNN XIII.B.7, fols 50, 51, 53; Mandowsky and Mitchell, Pirro Ligorio's Roman Antiquities (above, n. 1), 65–6. All Ligorio's images of Harpocrates were subsequently copied by Dal Pozzo in BAV Barb. Lat. 4412, fol. 15. Like the images in Vat. Lat. 3439, the copies were made without the commentaries, the drawings’ basic outlines taken from Ligorio's carefully modelled sketches.
101 Pignoria's annotations begin at Cartari, Imagini delli dei (above, n. 82), 291, entitled ‘Annotationi di Lorenzo Pignoria, al libro delle imagini del Cartari’, and the images of Harpocrates are found at pp. 198 and 326.
102 Cartari's text on Harpocrates is found at Cartari, Imagini delli dei (above, n. 82), 196–8. Ligorio's commentary has been published in Mandowsky and Mitchell, Pirro Ligorio's Roman Antiquities (above, n. 2), 65–6.

105 It is unlikely, however, that Pignoria's knowledge of Ligorio's manuscripts owed anything to his correspondence with Dal Pozzo, which only began in the late 1620s (see above, n. 78).
106 Numerous copies from Ligorio are found in the Paper Museum, most apparently taken from BAV Vat. Lat. 3439. These include two views of the Altar to Minerva attributed to Bernardino Capitelli (1590–1639), which was in the Vatican in Dal Pozzo's day but at San Giorgio in Velabro when Ligorio drew it. His original drawings come from BNN XIII.B.7: Mandowsky and Mitchell, Pirro Ligorio's Roman Antiquities (above, n. 2), 73 (cat. 37), pl. 24. Dal Pozzo also had new drawings made from the side of the altar, with the sacrificial instruments but without the inscriptions, suggesting that the model came from BAV Vat. Lat. 3439. The figured elements were considerably restored by Ligorio from internal evidence and another source, the relief of Marcus Aurelius Sacrificing in the Capitoline Museum: Mandowsky and Mitchell, Pirro Ligorio's Roman Antiquities (above, n. 2), 73 (cat. 37). Mandowsky gave a perceptive analysis of this altar and Ligorio's drawings of it to demonstrate his methods of ‘restoration’: Mandowsky, ‘Some observations on Phyrrho Ligorio's drawings’ (above, n. 29), 342–5. Many drawings have been presumed to derive from BAV Vat. Lat. 3439: see Turner, The Paper Museum of Cassiano dal Pozzo (above, n. 73), 62–3 (cat. 19), 70 (cats 26–7); Magnusson, B., ‘Sixteenth century drawings after Roman antiquities’, Nationalmuseum Bulletin 12 (1) (1988), 59–88, esp. pp. 83–5Google Scholar (cats 30, 34).

The first of Palladio's guidebooks, Le antichità di Roma and Descrittione de le chiese de Roma, both unillustrated, were published in Rome in 1554. Probably intended as companion volumes, they went through about 30 editions between 1554 and the mid-eighteenth century; Five Early Guides to Rome and Florence, introduction by Murray, Peter (Farnborough, 1972)Google Scholar; Hart, V. and Hicks, P., Palladio's Rome, a Translation of Andrea Palladio's Two Guidebooks to Rome (New Haven/London, 2006)Google Scholar. Puppi, Andrea Palladio (above), 441–2, provided a brief commentary on Palladio's published works. I quattro libri dell'architettura (1570), which contains extensive reconstructions of ancient architecture, as well as examples of Palladio's own work, was similarly republished over three centuries. Editions of the Quattro libri in English translation were responsible for introducing a Palladian style into eighteenth-century England and the United States of America where, as Robert Tavernor has observed, Palladian architecture is seen by many as ‘a potent symbol of modern democracy and individual freedom’; R. Tavernor, ‘Palladio's ‘Corpus’: I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura’, in Hart, V. and Hicks, P. (eds), Paper Palaces: the Rise of the Renaissance Architectural Treatise (New Haven/London, 1998), 246Google Scholar.

Vitruvio, published in Venice in 1556; Hart and Hicks, Paper Palaces (above), 9; Tavernor, ‘Palladio's ‘Corpus’’ (above), 236.
136 Professional jealousy may have been at work here: Ligorio became architect of Saint Peter's in 1564, succeeding Michelangelo, for which Vasari never forgave him, as Vasari himself was vying for the post; and he also resented what he saw as Ligorio's ‘harassment’ of his ageing idol: H.A. Millon and C.H. Smyth, ‘Pirro Ligorio, Michelangelo, and St. Peter's’, in Gaston, Pirro Ligorio, Artist and Antiquarian (above, n. 11), 233–6.
