Ausfuehrliche Anleitung zu der gantzen Civil-Bau-Kunst: worinnen nebst denen Lebens-Beschreibungen und den fünff Ordnungen von J. Bar. de Vignola, wie auch ... des berühmten Mich. Angelo vornehmsten Gebäuden alles ... erkläret und mit schönen Rissen erläutert wird
A German translation of Augustin-Charles d'Aviler's architecture manual, published in 1725 and translated by Leonhard Christoph Sturm, aimed at builders and students of civil architecture and drawn from Vignola and Michelangelo. Its engraved plates show classical column orders and window details with lettered keys and measured plan views. A designer could take from these the clean, labelled elevations and proportional diagrams of the Doric, Ionic and Composite orders, useful for classical ornament and grid-based layouts.
