Description
VIGNOLE. REGOLA delli cinque ordini d'architettura dim Jacomo Barozzio da Vignola. Libro Primo, et originale. (Rome), (ca 1565). Small folio. In a posterior mute cover (incomplete, small historical annotation in pencil on one plate, a few chipped edges and small stains). Particularly rare. Famous work by the Italian architect and theorist Giacomo Barozzio di Vignola (1507-1573). Entirely etched in black with large full-page figures. With its beautiful engraved title-frontispiece with portico and portrait. The work consisted of thirty-two folio copper engravings. The leaves were obviously sold freely, and could then be bound to form a book, but also, at the buyer's discretion, be reunited with other books or other series of engravings: this explains the highly variable condition. Text engraved in the plates.
