Vitrvvivs itervm et Frontinvs

Vitruvius Pollio, Giocondo, Giovanni, ca. 1433-1515, Frontinus, Sextus Julius. De aquis urbis Romae · 1513 · [Florentiæ : Sumptibus Philippi de Giunta] · 136 pictures

A 1513 Florentine edition of Vitruvius's ten books on architecture, edited by Fra Giovanni Giocondo and printed by Filippo Giunta together with Frontinus's treatise on the aqueducts of Rome, for humanist readers and builders. The small woodcuts are lettered technical diagrams printed in the text block — column base and cornice profiles, square-and-circle geometry, plans of rooms and courts, triglyph and mutule details — usable as line-only schematic figures, keyed letter labels, and framed diagram borders.
