La théorie et la pratique de la coupe des pierres et des bois, pour la construction des voutes et autres parties des bâtimens civils & militaires, ou, Traité de stéréotomie à l'usage de l'architecture
Amédée François Frézier's treatise on the geometry of cutting stone and timber for vaults, issued in Paris by Charles-Antoine Jombert in 1754 with plates engraved by Antoine Hérisset and the Bonnarts, for architects, masons and military engineers. The plates pack numbered geometrical constructions onto each sheet: cones and cylinders sliced to yield ellipses and parabolas, semicircular arcs subdivided by lettered points, radiating projection lines, and small solids shaded in ruled hatching, usable as line diagrams, pattern fields, or engraved lettering samples.
