Ordonnance des cinq especes de colonnes selon la methode des anciens
Claude Perrault's 1683 treatise on the five orders of columns, published in Paris by Jean Baptiste Coignard for architects and builders working from classical precedent. Engraved plates show Tuscan, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns in elevation with entablatures, capitals, bases and mouldings, finely hatched and keyed with measurement letters; useful for architectural line work, ornament details and proportion diagrams.
