Principii di architettura civile
Principii di architettura civile is an 1823 Bassano architectural treatise by Francesco Milizia, with plates by Giovanni Battista Cipriani, written as a civil architecture manual. The pictures are engraved geometric plates of vaults and arches, with lettered construction lines, dashed guides, and figure numbers. A designer could take from them the precise method of drawing arch profiles and vault curves with compass and straightedge, useful for structural line work and diagrammatic layouts.
