Deformatio stylobatæ Corinthii, cum duabus pilis.

Illustration from Rules and Examples of Perspective proper for Painters and Architects, etc. In English and Latin: Containing a most easie and expeditious method to delineate in perspective all designs relating to architecture

Ornatus gratiâ, stylobatæ Corinthio additæ sunt pilæ, quæ pone columnas locari solent. Ut autem pilæ clariùs appareant, columna omissa est, cujus deformandæ rationem nondum tradidimus. Mensuras omnes ex Barozzio acceptas esse demonstrat ipsum schema, in quo elevatio geometrica stylobatæ est A; vestigium ejus geometricum est B: pilæ CC. Vestigium opticè contractum est D, elevatio longitudinis stylobatæ opticè contracta est E, ac methodo consuetâ ex iis eruetur stylobata nitidus cum suis pilis.
