Palladio's Architettura, reprinted in Venice in 1740 by Angiolo Pasinelli with Italian and French text, is an architectural treatise for builders, students and patrons of classical design. Its engraved plates show column orders with their capitals and bases, a symmetrical villa elevation with plan, and a courtyard section with arcades, all drawn in precise line with architectural measurements and lettered keys; a designer might borrow their clean proportional grids and classical ornament.
