M. Vitruvius per Iocundum solito castigatior factus cum figuris et tabula ut iam legi et intelligi possit
This is a 1511 Venetian printing of Vitruvius's treatise on architecture, edited by the friar Giovanni Giocondo and issued by the printer Giovanni de Tridino, aimed at scholars and builders who wanted a corrected, illustrated text. The pictures are plain woodcut diagrams of plans, sections and column-and-wall details with lettered keys, useful to a designer for their clear, schematic way of setting out architectural layouts.
