Des Marcus Vitruvius Pollio Baukunst
Des Marcus Vitruvius Pollio Baukunst is a 1796 German edition of Vitruvius's treatise on architecture, published by Georg Joachim Göschen with contributions from Pliny, Varro and Columella, aimed at students and readers of classical building theory. Its pictures are geometric construction diagrams in fine line: circles with inscribed stars and polygons, lettered points, and a square turned into a diamond, showing how proportions were derived with compass and straightedge.
