A two-volume French building manual published by Claude Jombert in Paris in 1728, compiled with Briseux, Tiercelet and Courtonne to teach private house and palace construction to owners, masons and carpenters. The engraved plates begin with numbered geometry exercises ab lines, polygons, shaded cubes, cones, cylinders and spheres ab then move to compass roses, brick arch and wall construction, tile and paving patterns, and pilings, giving designers a stock of labelled diagram figures and masonry pattern fills.
