De verborum Vitruvianorum significatione, sive, Perpetuus in M. Vitruvium Pollionem commentarius
A 1612 Latin commentary by Bernardino Baldi, printed by the ad insigne pinus press, explaining the terms of Vitruvius for scholars of classical architecture. Its pictures are small lettered engravings of doors, cornice mouldings and wooden fittings, each part labelled with capital letters keyed to the text, so a designer can study how classical profiles and joinery were drawn and labelled.
