The complete series, extremely rare, with the popes of Rome in 251 numbered portraits, from Jesus Christ, to Clement X, shown in circular medallions over 16 sheets. In the first four sheets, at the top, part of the title. With the joined sheets the complete title appears: "Chronologia Summorum Romanorum Pontificum in qua habentur verae eorum effigies ex antiquis numismatibus et picturis delineatae, ac nomina cognomina ... ab. Anastasio, Luitprando, Panvinio, Baronio.” The series can then be combined to form a large plate consisting of four by four sheets.
