I dieci libri d'architettvra
I dieci libri d'architettvra is Vitruvius Pollio's Roman treatise on architecture, published in Venice in 1660 by Appresso il Nicolini for students and builders of classical design. Its woodcut plates show a plan of a columned hall, a column base with its moulding profile, a timber and masonry construction section, and a stepped stone wall, drawn with measured letters and lines that a designer could reference for classical proportion and structure.
