M. Vitruvii De architectura libri decem : nuper maxima diligentia castigati atque excusi, additis, Iulii Frontini De aqueductibus libris propter materiae affinitatem
Vitruvius's Ten Books on Architecture, edited by Fra Giocondo and printed in Venice in 1522 by the heirs of Philippo Giunta, a scholarly text for architects and humanist readers studying classical building. Its woodcut pages show floor plans of Roman houses and temples with lettered keys, plus diagrams of column bases, doors, and timber joinery drawn in crisp, schematic line that a designer could borrow for plan layouts and classical ornament.
