This is an Italian vernacular translation of Vitruvius's ten books on architecture, printed in Como in 1521 for students and builders of classical architecture. Its woodcut plates show foundation sections with numbered courses, ground plans with lettered keys, and temple elevations with classical orders, giving designers clear diagrams of Roman building construction and proportion.
