A Dutch-language architectural treatise by Sebastiano Serlio, translated by Pieter Coecke van Aelst, printed in Antwerp in 1553 by the widow of Pieter van Keerberghen for builders, masons and students of building. The pictures are plain black-line geometric diagrams of squares, diagonals, arcs and circles, with a polygon construction and an oval drawn by compass, useful for designers wanting clean schematic linework and construction grids.
