Objective: To present and discuss the writings of Marcantonio Michiel, Anton Francesco Doni, Paolo Giovio and Frei Sabba de Castiglione as examples of the pioneering configuration of Art catalogs.
Methods: It uses bibliographic research methods, with a qualitative approach, analyzing the texts from a set of theoretical premises about what lists and catalogs are BALSAMO, 2017; ECO, 2009; OTLET, 1934; SERRAI, 2001). The premise discusses how such materials should be handled.
Results: It is observed that the selected authors produced texts that worked epistemologically, contributing to the formation of knowledge, putting information into circulation, establishing taxonomies and other similar processes.
Conclusions: The analyzed texts are presented not only as lists, but also as narratives. This placed the need to observe the use of language in its rhetorical formulations. We observed that the authors use styles that are quite different from each other and, certainly, still far from contemporary formulas in art catalogs. Such differences can be observed when, for example, they describe the same work in different situations and moments (as we highlight in the case of the description of a source present in the museum of Giovio).
