Sebastiani Serlii Bononiensis Architectvræ liber septimvs = Il settimo libro d'architettura
Serlio's seventh book of architecture, printed at Frankfurt by Andreas Wechel in 1575, is a bilingual Latin and Italian treatise on domestic building for patrons and builders. The plates pair elevations with ground plans of villas and houses, with sheets showing rows of windows, doorways and cornices set out in strict orthographic projection that a designer could use as a template for façade rhythm and plan layout.
