Regola delli cinque ordini d'architettura di m. Iacomo Barozzio da Vignola : con la nuun agionta di Michelangelo Buonaroti di carte sette
Regola delli cinque ordini d'architettura is a Roman architectural treatise by Vignola, with added plates by Michelangelo, presented as an instruction manual of the classical orders for builders and architects. The plates show measured elevations of column capitals, entablatures, bases and pilasters drawn in precise engraved line, with dimension lines and Italian captions beneath. A designer can take from them the clean proportional logic of classical ornament, from acanthus-decorated Corinthian capitals to coffered panels and moulding profiles.
