One of history's most published architectural treatises, this Renaissance volume solidified the architectural canon of the past five centuries. The distinguished architect known as Vignola identified the five orders Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite and illustrated them in full-page elevational detail. Accessible even to lay readers, his engravings have been copied countless times since their original publication in 1562.
