PEREGRINI DA CESENA
PEREGRINI DA CESENA (ltal.). Engraver of the fifteenth century. Duchesne enumerates sixty-six plates by his hand, which he calls nielli. More recent critics, however, says Williamson (Bryan's Dictionary of Painters and Engravers, 1904, IV, 93), see in these, not proofs of goldsmith's work, but impressions from plates expressly engraved for printing. The facts in favour of this view are, in the first place, the number of these so-called nielli, and, secondly, the occurrence of the artist's signat...

PERGAMOS
PERGAMOS (Greek). Gem-engraver of ancient times. The inscription, ?EP?AMOY (not very clear) occurs on a paste, red and transparent, in the Florence Museum ; subject, Dancing Faun with thyrsus. Furtwängler admits the style of the gem to be antique, but otherwise condemns the piece as modern. Reinach does not agree with this opinion. Babelon thinks the paste is a copy of a gem now lost. A replica in the Berlin Museum is certainly modern. The same inscription, but incomplete, is found on a Scarab s...
