Vestigia ædificii Ordinis Corinthii.

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

Descripturi ædificium Corinthium octangulare, ponimus hic vestigia unius ex quatuor partibus pilarum, quibus imponetur fornix in modum tholi, ut constabit in figurâ quinquagesimaoctava. Ad faciliorem descriptionem, in parte inferiori paginæ posui vestigium geometricum stylobatæ, in superiori vestigium geometricum coronicis, cum latitudinibus & longitudinibus membrorum singulorum; ut eas transferendo in lineam plani more consueto, utrumque vestigium opticè deformetur. Ad vitandam confusionem, prius notare oportebit puncta quæ spectant ad membra propinquiora solido parieti, deinde alia.
