Vitruvius Pollio, Ryff, Walther Hermann, d. 1548, Nicholas, of Cusa, Cardinal, 1401-1464. De staticis experimentis. 1543, Frontinus, Sextus Julius. De aquis urbis Romae. 1543 · 1543 · Argentorati, In officina Knoblochiana per Georgiu[m] Machæropium, expensis Christiani Egenolphi · 101 pictures

The first German-printed edition of Vitruvius's ten books on architecture, issued at Strasbourg in 1543 by Georg Machaeropoeus for Christian Egenolff with material assembled by the surgeon-mathematician Walther Hermann Ryff, and bound with Nicholas of Cusa on weighing and Frontinus on the Roman aqueducts, for builders, scholars and patrons. The woodcuts give column orders, capitals, entablatures, ground plans, coffered ceilings and machines, drawn in outline with dense diagonal hatching for shadow and marked with proportional measurements, useful for architectural line detail, modular grids and classical ornament.
