von Wyss-Giacosa, Paola (2021). Through the eyes of idolatry: Pignoria’s 1615 argument on the "Conformità" of idols from the West and East Indies with Egyptian Gods. In: Tarantino, Giovanni; von Wyss-Giacosa, Paola. Through your eyes: religious alterity and the early modern Western imagination. Leiden, Boston: Brill, 103-144.
In 1615, the Paduan antiquary Lorenzo Pignoria (1571–1631) published a revised edition of Cartari’s Le vere e nove imagini de gli dei delli antichi. He added a new part on the diffusion of idolatry to the Americas and Asia, basing his Egyptogenetic argument on objects and images as evidence. This systematically illustrated treatise represents an innovative attempt at historical research into the origins of religious worship.
