Ivsti LipsI De amphitheatro liber : in quo forma ipsa loci espressa, & ratio spectandi : cum aeneis figuris : omnia avctiora vel meliora
A 1598 Antwerp edition from the Plantin press of Justus Lipsius's study of Roman amphitheatres, written for scholars and architects. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcut-style diagrams of stepped seating blocks in isometric view, plus ornamental emblem frames with ribbons, scales and figures, showing how a designer might build stepped forms and decorative cartouches.
