Les dix livres d'architecture de Vitruve : corrigez et traduits nouvellement en françois, avec des notes & des figures
A 1684 Paris edition of Vitruvius's ten books on architecture, corrected and translated into French by Claude Perrault with notes and figures, published by Jean Baptiste Coignard for scholars and builders. Its plates are measured technical drawings: plans of rooms with coffered ceilings, a classical elevation of arched windows and pilasters, a cornice and entablature profile with lettered sections, and a column and capital study. A designer could draw on their precise line work, lettered keys, and orderly classical proportions for architectural diagrams.
