He succeeded as librarian and archivist of the Ducal library of Modena the famous historian Muratori. Later he was appointed professor of church history at the Sapienza University of Rome. § The 18th century saw a deepening of the science of epigraphy; much emphasis was laid on the importance of historical sources, such as inscriptions and coins. There was a demand for well edited and trustworthy collections and manuals. With his 'Istituzione' Zaccaria published a manual devided into 3 books: 1: 'Del pregio, e dell'eccellenza delle latine iscrizioni', 2: 'Della tessitura delle antiche iscrizioni', 3: 'Delle intelligenza delle iscrizioni', and illuminated with numerous examples. The manual saw a second edition in 1793 and was also translated into Spanish; Zaccaria wrote also a manual on numismatics) (Collation: a8, b12, A-Q8, R10, S-2I8, 2K10.
