The first booke of architecture : entreating of geometrie. Translated out of Italian into Dutch and out of Dutch into English
A 1611 English edition of Sebastiano Serlio's architectural treatise, its first book on geometry, translated through Dutch and published by Robert Peake for builders and students of architecture. The pictures are plain woodcut-style architectural drawings of arches, bays, plans and elevations with hatched shading, offering a designer clear models of classical proportion, rustication and geometric layout.
