Serlio's Regole generali di architettura, printed in Venice in 1551 by Pietro de Nicolini da Sabbio for the publisher Marchione Sessa, is a Renaissance treatise on the five classical orders of architecture, drawing on Vitruvius and Roman antiquities. The woodcut plates show elevations of arches, doorways, cornices and entablatures drawn in fine line with shaded masonry, giving a designer clear, reusable models of classical proportion and rustication.
