Vitruvii De architectura libri decem
Vitruvius's ten books on architecture, edited by Luigi Marini and printed by A. Marini in 1836, a scholarly edition of Roman architectural theory aimed at students and historians of classical building. The plates show architectural elevations and plans with fluted columns, a colonnade, a row of niched statues, and a rectangular floor plan with circular rooms, drawn in fine hatched line that a designer could use as a reference for classical proportion and symmetrical layout.
