- The series 'Imagines veteris ac Novi Testamenti' reproduces the complete series of frescos painted by Raphael in the Logge. It consists of 55 plates: two frontispieces (the first with a dedicatory text to Christina of Sweden, the second with a portrait of Raphael), an etched plate reproducing the Prophet Isaiah painted by Raphael in S. Agustine in Rome, and fifty-two plates reproducing Raphael's Logge. The first three plates are not numbered while the plates reproducing the Logge are numbered from 1 to 52.
The series was published in Rome in 1675 by Gian Giacomo de Rossi; plates 1 to 36 and plate 44 were engraved by Cesare Fantetti and plates 37 to 52 by Pietro dell'Aquila .
