A late eighteenth-century Italian architectural treatise by Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola, first published in the sixteenth century and reissued in Naples in 1795 with additions from the 1770 Roman edition, intended for architects and builders studying the classical orders. Its plates are engraved line drawings of columns, capitals, bases and arches with construction lines and lettered measurements, which a designer could use as precise references for classical proportion and ornament.
