M. Vitrvvii Pollionis De Architectvra Libri Decem: Mvltis Aedificiorvm, Horologiorvm, Et Machinarvm Descriptionibvs, & figuris, unà cum indicibus copiosis, auctis & illustratis
This is a 1567 Latin edition of Vitruvius's ten-book treatise on architecture, printed in Europe with many woodcut plans and machine diagrams for architects, scholars and builders. The pictures are black-and-white technical engravings of building sections, floor plans, elevations and a water-raising device, showing how classical structures were laid out; a designer could take their clean line drawings, labelled letters and dense marginal text blocks as models for schematic architectural diagrams.
