Penther, Johann Friedrich · 1748 · 94 pictures

A German architecture manual by Johann Friedrich Penther, published in 1748 and drawn from Heidelberg University Library, written to guide builders through the design of civic and princely buildings such as palaces and their outbuildings. Its plates are engraved floor plans, elevations and sections of residences, laid out as numbered figures with scale bars, giving a designer clear, measured examples of 18th-century baroque planning, with symmetrical courts, stair placement and room grids to adapt for layouts and diagrams.
