Description
View taken from the famous guide of Rome by Dominique Magnan La ville de Rome, ou, Description abrégée de cette superbe ville: divisée en quatre volumes: et ornée de 425 planches en taille douce. A Rome: De l'imprimerie d'Archange Casaletti ... : Chez Venan. Monaldini, Bouchard et Gravier : Gregoire Settari ..., 1778.
Dominique Magnan (1731–1796), a learned French abbot of the Trinità dei Monti convent, of the order of the minims, in Rome, who was deeply involved in the intellectual life of his community during the second half of the 18th century. He studied at the University of Avignon, then joined the Minims of La Ciotat at age 20, where he began his career as a collector of ancient coins and medals. Appointed professor of theology in Marseille, he continued his work. He got in touch with the most famous antiquaries of the time, both in Italy and Germany, and speedily acquired an extensive reputation.
His first books received critical acclaim. But his most significant works were on numismatics though heavily criticized by specialists of the time in that universal and complete coverage of the subject could maintain confusion between authentic coins and the fake ones.
