Third edition of Daviler?s beautifully illustrated architectural work which significantly contributed to architectural education and theory and helped to standardize architectural education and practice in France. It provided detailed explanations and illustrations of classical architectural orders as defined by Renaissance architect Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola. It "was the best work of its kind yet issued and soon superseded F. Blondel's Cours d'architecture" (Fowler). It ?was the standard work for architects (?) This book included a life of Vignola, a description of buildings by him and by Michelangelo, and a dictionary of architectural terms. Daviler also gave practical advice for the design and construction of buildings. His book contained plans and elevations of a typical house and designs of all architectural details such as door-ways, entrances, and windows, including even the design of gardens.?
