Serlio, Sebastiano, 1475-1554 · 1542 · [Anuers : Translate & imprime par Pierre vā Aelst] · 36 pictures

This is an architectural treatise by Sebastiano Serlio, published in Antwerp in 1542 by Pieter van Aelst in French, setting out rules for the five orders of building and their classical examples for students and builders. The pictures are crisp woodcut elevations of rusticated masonry, arches, doorways and niches, with lettered keys, and a designer could take from them the proportions of voussoirs, keystones and fascia bands as clean architectural line drawing.
