M. Vitruvii Pollionis De architectura libri decem : cum commentariis Danielis Barbari, electi patriarchae Aquileiensis : multis aedificiorum, horologiorum, et machinarum descriptionibus, & figuris, unà cum indicibus copiosis, auctis & illustratis
Vitruvius's ten-book treatise on architecture, here in a 1567 Venice edition with commentary by Daniele Barbaro, printed by Francesco Franceschi and Giovanni Crugher for scholars and architects. The pictures are woodcut plans, sections and elevations of Roman buildings, with lettered keys and tight ruled hatching that a designer could use as clear models for diagrammatic floor plans and architectural line drawing.
