Abregé des dix livres d'architecture de Vitruve
Abregé des dix livres d'architecture de Vitruve is a 1674 French condensed edition of Vitruvius's ten books on architecture, edited by Claude Perrault and published in Paris by Jean Baptiste Coignard for readers of classical architectural theory. Its small woodcut ornaments show flower arrangements in urns and fruit-filled wicker baskets, with dense hatched shading and crisp outlines that a designer could adapt for vignettes, borders, or decorative tailpieces.
