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
A French treatise on stereotomy, the geometry of cutting stone and timber for vaults and arches, written by the military engineer Amédée François Frézier and issued in Paris by Charles-Antoine Jombert in 1754 for architects, masons and military builders, with plates engraved by Hérisset and the Bonnarts. The plates pair dense line constructions of arcs, radiating chords and numbered points with small shaded vignettes of finished vaulted openings and cut blocks, offering ready-made diagram textures, hatched masonry courses and numbered geometric figures.
