Penther, Johann Friedrich, 1693-1749 · 1764 · Augspurg : Bey Johann Andreas Pfeffel, Kunstverleger · 15 pictures

A German architectural handbook by Johann Friedrich Penther, published in Augsburg in 1764 by Johann Andreas Pfeffel, offering a dictionary of German, French, Italian and Latin building terms for domestic architecture. The plates are engraved elevations, floor plans and cross-sections of residential buildings, with a small grid of roof forms, arches and column bases on the last page. A designer could take from them the clean, schematic linework of eighteenth-century building drawings and the clear way plans and elevations are set side by side on one page.
