- Note
- Raphael's Bible was widely engraved —for example by Sisto Badalocchio and Giovanni Lanfranco (1605-1606), Orazio Borgianni (1615), Francesco Villamena (1626), Nicolas Chaperon (1649), and Cesare Fantetti and Pietro Aquila (1675). We have not compared de Marne's version with all of their counterparts.
