Abstract:
Petition from and Privilege granted to painter Antonio Tempesta for his monumental map of Rome. The Petition is particularly noteworthy for the variety of justifications it offers for the grant of the privilege, especially justifications rooted in authorship and incentive rationales. The record includes two versions of the handwritten privilege.
