L'augusta ducale basilica dell'evangelista San Marco nell'inclita dominante di Venezia colle notizie del suo innalzamento, sua architettura, musaici, reliquie, e preziosità che in essa si contengono; arricchite di alcune annotazioni, e adornate di varie tavole in rame dissegnate da celebre architetto ed incise da perito artefice.

[4], 64 p., engr. frontis., engr. t.-pl., engr. port., XI [i.e. 8] pl. : [7] engr. illus. ; 68.5 cm. (1°)
