Vincenzo Scamozzi's 1615 Italian treatise on architecture, printed in Venice, sets out the five classical orders with their columns, arches and proportions for architects and builders. Its engraved plates show front elevations of doorways and arches with dimensioned measuring lines and labelled column bases, useful for a designer studying classical architectural proportion and symmetry.
