Pianta del rione tratta dalla celebre guida di Roma di 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), dotto abate francese del convento della Trinità dei Monti, dell'ordine dei minimi, a Roma, che fu profondamente coinvolto nella vita intellettuale della sua comunità durante la seconda metà del XVIII secolo. Ha studiato all'università di Avignone, poi si è unito ai Minimi di La Ciotat all'età di 20 anni, dove ha iniziato la sua carriera come collezionista di monete e medaglie antiche. Nominato professore di teologia a Marsiglia, ha continuato il suo lavoro. Si mise in contatto con i più famosi antiquari dell'epoca, sia in Italia che in Germania, e acquisì rapidamente una vasta reputazione. I suoi primi libri hanno ricevuto il plauso della critica. Ma i suoi lavori più significativi erano sulla numismatica sebbene fortemente criticati dagli specialisti dell'epoca in quanto la copertura universale e completa del soggetto poteva mantenere la confusione tra monete autentiche e false.

Map 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.
