Regola delli cinque ordini d'architettura is a 1629 architectural treatise by Vignola (1507-1573), published in Utrecht by Crispian van de Pas, teaching the five classical orders to builders and students. The engraved plates show full-height altarpieces and tabernacles built from stacked columns, pilasters, niches, pediments and statues, drawn in crisp, even line with no shading, offering a designer a clear reference for symmetrical classical framing and ornament.
