VITRUVIUS POLLIO, Marcus. Les dix livres d'architecture de Vitruve. Edited and translated by Claude Perrault Paris: Jean Baptiste Coignard, 1684.
VITRUVIUS POLLIO, Marcus. Les dix livres d'architecture de Vitruve. Edited and translated by Claude Perrault Paris: Jean Baptiste Coignard, 1684. Second Perrault edition. Brunet argues that the second edition with Perrault's scholarly commentary and translation is more complete than the first (1673) and is, therefore, to be preferred. Folio (442 x 290 mm). Engraved additional title, 68 plates (8 double-page), head- and tail-pieces, diagrams in the text, initials (wide margin with tiny marginal worm hole turning into a short worm track at end). Contemporary calf, spine in seven compartments, gilt-lettered morocco label in one, others ruled and decorated in gilt (minor splitting to joints, a bit scuffed at the extremities). Fowler 418.
