Des Vitruvius zehn Bücher über Architektur
Des Vitruvius zehn Bücher über Architektur is a German translation of Vitruvius's ten-book treatise on architecture, edited by Franz Reber and published by Krais & Hoffmann in 1865, aimed at readers of classical architectural theory. The pictures are engraved technical diagrams of roof trusses, a gear-driven machine, and paneled wall or door joinery, drawn in fine line with lettered reference marks and hatched fills, giving a designer clean schematic structure and labelled plan views to borrow for line-based layouts.
