This is a French architectural dictionary of civil, military and naval building, compiled by Roland le Virloys and Charles François and published in 1771, with terms given in French, Latin, Italian, Spanish, English and German for an international readership of builders and students. Its copperplate pages show plans, arches, column bases, pilaster profiles, cornices and doorway elevations drawn in clean, measured line, which a designer can use as reference for classical architectural forms and proportions.
