A good, amply-margined copy, with otherwise clean, crisp text and plates. Second, much augmented edition of this epitome of Vitruvius by the learned French nobleman, Julien Mauclerc (1543-ca. 1598), with additions by the editor, Pierre Daret. The work was first published in 1599/1600 by Jérôme Haultin at La Rochelle under the title Le premier Livre d'Architecture . traictant tant de l'Ordre Tuscanique, Doricque, Ionique, Corinthe, que Composite. "It contains the 1600 text, with modernized or modified vocabulary. Daret removes the specific references to Book III of Serlio's work, but adds commentary to the figures he has enriched the plates with, including a method for drawing the Ionic volute explicitly borrowed from Vignola. The engravings are enhanced by a few elements added in the spaces left blank by Boyvin. Daret's additions contribute to the work's eclectic nature, but from this perspective, they are quite coherent. Indeed, by introducing Vignola, Palladio, and Scamozzi, they update the material of an eclectic method that Mauclerc practiced at the dawn of the century with Blum, Serlio, Labacco, and de l'Orme, now superseded by the three Italians whom Fréart de Chambray, in 1650, designated as the three modern masters, and who provided 17th-century French architecture with the essential elements of its repertoire in the realm of the orders. Moreover, the juxtaposition of the orders presented here recalls the method that Fréart himself develops in his own Parallèle" (Pauwels). Regarding the work, Cicognara notes that "it is highly prized for its beautiful and clear engravings. Pierre Daret added the measurements and proportions of other masters to this work, as he notes on the title page. Indeed, Mauclerc could not have mentioned Palladio, Vignola, or Scamozzi, whose works were unknown to him during his lifetime. Therefore, it is clear that the five plates from 45 to 48, inclusive, in which these parallels appear, are by another engraver and were added by Pierre Daret to Mauclerc's work. All the other plates bear the original author's mark. As for the text, it is recognized that the notions are derived from Vitruvius, but succinctly, and confusedly and by avoiding difficult passages, such as those on the Ionic volute, on the Scamilli, etc." The military and civil engineer Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (ca. 70-80 BCE - ca. 15 CE) is the author of the only surviving ancient treatise on architecture, arranged in ten books. By his own account, Vitruvius served in the Roman army under the command of Julius Caesar. Rediscovered by the Florentine humanist Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459) in the library of Saint Gall Abbey, and publicized by Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472), Vitruvius' De Architectura would later define the canon of classical architecture. His assertion that structures should exhibit the three qualities of stability (firmitatis), utility (utilitiatis), and beauty (venustatis) became a commonplace in architectural theory. The wide-ranging program of De Architectura deals with "principles of buildings in general, building materials, designs of theatres, temples and other public buildings, town and country houses, baths, interior decoration and wall paintings, clocks and dials, astronomy, mechanical and military engineering." (PMM). Throughout the Renaissance, Vitruvius' work provided inspiration for Michelangelo, Leon Battista Alberti, Donato Bramante, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Giacomo Vignola, Andrea Palladio and many others. The first printed edition of De Architectura appeared at Rome (ca. 14.…
