Progymnasmata architectonica is a 1730 German architectural manual by Benjamin Hederich, published in Leipzig by the Gleditsch firm for students of civil and military building. Its plates show architectural elevations, gates, ground plans and decorative moulding and window details, drawn in fine engraved line with lettered keys. A designer could draw on the crisp ornamental ironwork, column capitals and classical window surrounds as period motifs for ornament and layout.
