Archisesto per formar con facilità li cinque ordini d'architettura : con altri particolari intorno la medesima professione
An architectural treatise by Ottavio Revesi Bruti, printed at Vicenza in 1627, explaining a drafting instrument for setting out the five classical orders for masons, carpenters and building practitioners. The plates are thin outline engravings of pediments, cornices, arched bays, capitals and moulding profiles, drawn without shading and often with construction lines and letter keys, giving designers clean geometric line art and measured profile silhouettes.
