Die Baukunst der Alten : ein Handbuch für Freunde der Kunst : nebst einem architektonischen Wörterbuche
Die Baukunst der Alten is a German handbook on ancient architecture by Christian Ludwig Stieglitz, published in 1796 by Breitkopf und Härtel for art enthusiasts and readers wanting an architectural dictionary. Its plates show measured engravings of classical column orders, with Doric shafts, Ionic volutes and capitals, and entablature profiles with numbered module markings, giving designers clean reference drawings of classical proportion and moulding.
