Direzioni A' Giovani Studenti nel Disegno dell'Architettura Civile, Nell'Accademia Clementina Dell'Instituto delle Scienze: Divise in cinque parti
Published in 1764 by Ferdinando Bibiena, this Italian treatise gave instruction to young students of civil architecture at the Accademia Clementina in Bologna, arranged in five parts. The pages are tall engraved plates of classical column orders, capitals, cornices, bases and entablature profiles, each labelled with letters and module measurements, so a designer can borrow the proportions and moulding profiles of Baroque and classical ornament directly.
