L' architecture contenant la toscane, dorique, ionique, corinthiaque et composée : avec quelques belles ordonnaces d'architecture mise en perspective par Jean Vredman frison
A 1638 architectural treatise on the classical orders, published by Jan Janssonius in Amsterdam (the record gives Ian Iansson) and attributed to Hendrik Hondius and Hans Vredeman de Vries, aimed at builders, draughtsmen and students. Its engraved plates show column capitals, bases and shafts for the Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and composite orders, with some plates setting an order into a perspective view of an arcaded hall. A designer could take crisp, measured classical ornament and clear profile drawings for borders, type-adjacent decoration or column motifs.
