Vrbis Romae topographia
A 1544 Roman topography printed in Rome by the Valerio Dorico and Luigi Dorico press, by Bartolomeo Marliani with plates after Giovanni Battista Palatino, for scholars of ancient Rome. The pictures are plain black-and-white ground plans of churches and buildings, with hatched walls, rounded apses, and small square piers, a clear model for designers wanting schematic architectural layouts.
