Trattato delle Piante & Immaginj de Sacri Edifizi di Terra Santa: Disegnate in Ierusalemme secondo le regole della prospetiua & uera misura della lor grandezza
Bernardino Amico's 1620 Italian treatise presents plans and views of the sacred buildings of the Holy Land, drawn in Jerusalem to measured proportion and perspective for readers interested in architecture and antiquities. The pictures pair ornamental woodcut frames, each enclosing an urn or vase within scrolling foliage, with ground plans of rooms and courtyards labelled by letter; a designer might draw on the framing scrolls and the plan layouts for borders and architectural diagrams.
