Traitté De L'Architectvre Svivant Vitrvve: Ou Il Est Traitté Des Cinq Ordres De Colomnes ...
A 1648 French treatise on architecture following Vitruvius, edited by Julien Mauclerc and published by Pierre Daret, presenting the five classical orders of columns for architects and builders. The engraved plates show column elevations with close detail on bases, shafts, and capitals, with measuring scales and module numbers in the margins that a designer could use as a reference for classical ornament such as acanthus leaves, egg-and-dart moulding, fluting, and volutes.
