About this Item

D'AVILER, Augustine, Charles. Cours d 'architecture qui comprend les ordres de Vignole avec des commentaires, les figures et descriptions de ses plus beaux batimens, et de ceux de Michel-Ange, plusieurs nouveaux desseins, ornemens et preceptes, contenant la distribution, la decoration, la matiere et la construction des edifices, la maconnerie, la charpenterie, la Couverture, la Serrurerie, la Menuiserie, le Jardinage. l'art de batir. [++] Engraving by Pierre-Jean Mariette. Paris, C.A. Jombert, 1756. "Nouvelle edition". [++] This is a library copy, boud in heavy cloth. The binding is not pretty but it is intact, and the binding makes this a very useful volume. [++] The engraved plates are a little difficult to unravel to determine if this volume is complete, as the numeration is a little convoluted. That said, it seems as though the text and the engraved plates are complete. The text: 11.5"x 8.25"; pp 3-6,(ii), (xxxviii), (iii), (vii), 408, (40). The 152 plates as they appear: frontis, 4, A, B, C, 1-12 13/14 (on one sheet), 15-43, 44a, 44b, 44, 45-51, 51a, 51b, 52-57, 58a, 58b, 59a-d. 60-62, 63a-t, 63 v, 63x, 64a, 64b, 65a-d, 66a, 66b, 67-92 (92x2), 98a, 98b, 98a, 99a, 99b, 99d, 99c, 99d, 99f-99s, 100, 101a, 102, 103. (These seem complete according to the eight-page index for the "figures".) Also worth noting is the unnumbered 40pp index section at rear. [++] CCONDITION: there is a perforated library stamp on title and in the corner of one plate, but that's it for markings in the text. There are also a couple of rubber stamps on the front and rear paste downs. About a dozen of the plates have short tears that were repaired many decades ago. The overwhelming amount of the text is clean and bright. VG condition.
