Elementos de toda la architectura civil : con las mas singulares observaciones de los modernos impressos en latin
An 18th-century Spanish architectural treatise by Miguel Benavente and Christian Rieger, printed in Madrid in 1763 by Joachin Ibarra as a manual of civil architecture for builders and students. Its engraved plates show classical column orders, capitals, and bases drawn with numbered figures and scale rules, alongside pavilions, caryatids, and garden structures. A designer could draw on the precise ornamental detailing, such as Corinthian and Ionic capitals, and the measured diagrammatic layouts as sources for classical motifs and typographic-style grids.
