The accuracy of Desgodetz's measurements, the brilliance o his drawings, and the beauty of the engraved plates have made this a most respected and desired book.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. Edition originale. Plein veau de l'époque, dos à six nerfs orné et doré. Un volume in folio (434x288 mm), frontispice, xi-(1)-140 pages et 137 planches. Mors fendus. Coiffes et coins accidentées. Seconde édition. Nouvelle édition de Claude Antoine Jombert qui venait d'acquérir les cuivres originaux des descendants de l'architecte. Antoine Desgodetz, fut envoyé à Rome, où il occupa un séjour de seize mois, en 1676-1677, à relever et mesurer très exactement les monuments antiques. Le propos était judicieux, car il avait pu constater déjà les différences de dimensions et donc de proportions données dans les ouvrages classiques sur le sujet. Il en résulta un ouvrage d'une évidente utilité et d'une grande beauté: les dessins de Desgodetz ont été traduits par d'excellents graveurs, notamment Louis de Chastillon, Nicolas Guérard, Jean et Pierre Lepautre, et chaque planche est accompagnée en regard d'une notice descriptive qui précise les mesures des divers éléments et ne manque pas de relever les erreurs des traités précédents. L'ouvrage fut justement admiré et fit l'objet de plusieurs rééditions. On n'en est pas moins surpris d'apprendre qu'à la différence de la plupart des traités anciens, il n'a pas perdu ses mérites et que les archéologues d'aujourd'hui, autrement exigeants que les amateurs d'autrefois, reconnaissent encore son exactitude et donc son utilité. Exemplaire bien complet des 137 planches requises. Provenance : Exemplaire relié pour Henry François Athanase de Taillefer (1761-1833) avec supralibris. Dit Wlgrin de Taillefer, il fut militaire, numismate, archéologue et historien français. ___________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________ENGLISH_DESCRIPTION : Contemporary full calf, gilt spine in seven compartments. Folio (434x288 mm), frontispiece, xi-(1)-140 pages and 137 plates. Joints split. Caps and corners worn. Second edition. A new edition by Claude Antoine Jombert, who had just acquired the original copperplates from the descendants of the architect. Antoine Desgodetz was sent to Rome, where he stayed for sixteen months in 1676?1677, to survey and measure ancient monuments with great precision. The purpose was well conceived, as he had already observed discrepancies in the dimensions?and thus the proportions?given in classical works on the subject. The result was a work of obvious utility and great beauty: Desgodetz's drawings were engraved by excellent artists, including Louis de Chastillon, Nicolas Guérard, and Jean and Pierre Lepautre. Each plate is accompanied by a facing descriptive notice specifying the measurements of the various elements and pointing out the errors in earlier treatises. The work was justly admired and underwent several reissues. It is all the more surprising to learn that, unlike most ancient treatises, it has not lost its value: even today's archaeologists?far more demanding than the amateurs of the past?still recognize its accuracy and usefulness. A complete copy, with all 137 required plates. Provenance : Exemplaire relié pour Henry François Athanase de Taillefer (1761-1833) avec supralibris.

Artisti e architetti francesi incapaci di recarsi in Italia furono in grado di utilizzare lo studio di Desgodetz per emulare le pratiche architettoniche dell'antica Roma nelle loro opere.
