I dieci libri dell'architettura di M. Vitruvio
Vitruvius's ten books on architecture, published in Venice in 1556 by Francesco Marcolini with commentary by Daniele Barbaro, a Renaissance edition of the Roman architectural treatise for scholars and builders. The pages are engraved plates of classical columns, entablatures, friezes and theatre or basilica sections drawn in precise linework. A designer can take from them the clear orthographic sectional views and the orderly Corinthian and Tuscan detailing, useful as references for classical ornament and proportion.
