These gems were described in two folio volumes entitled Gemmarum antiquarum delectus quse in dactyliothecis Ducis Marlburiensis conservantur, 1781-90; the engravings were chiefly by Bartolozzi, and the Latin text by Jacob Bryant and William Cole (1753-1806)
Jacob Bryant, a significant British scholar and late 18th to early 19th century mythographer, recognized that as all the great occurrences of old were represented by hieroglyphics, we may in consequence of it perceive many different emblems, which manifestly relate to the same history.
In 1817 Maitland published his first pamphlet, ‘A Dissertation on the Primary Objects of Idolatrous Worship,’ unfashionably against Jacob Bryant's writings.
