Observations nouvelles sur les ouvrages de peinture, de sculpture et d'architecture, qui se voyent à Rome & aux environs - Raguenet, François 1660-1722 (London Chastel, 1765)
Written 1698-1700. In 1698, abbott Raguenet followed Cardinal de Bouillon at Rome and for two years studied the masterpieces of the arts which decorate the palaces and churches of the capital of the Christian world. The description he gave of it, shortly after his return to Paris, earned him the "letters from the Roman citizen".
