Regole generali di architettvra sopra le cinqve maniere de gliedifici : cioè, thoscano, dorico, ionico, corinthio, e composito, con gliessempi de l'antiqvita, che per la maggior parte concordano con la dottrina di Vitrvvio
Sebastiano Serlio's 1540 Venetian treatise on architecture, printed by Francesco Marcolini, sets out the five classical orders with examples from antiquity for architects and builders. The pages show measured plan and elevation drawings of doorways, arches, a fireplace and column capitals, with fine hatched shading and lettered reference points that a designer could use for classical ornament and proportion.
