I ask only once a year: please help the Internet Archive today. Right now, we have a 2-to-1 Matching Gift Campaign, so you can triple your impact! Most can’t afford to give, but we hope you can. The average donation is $45. If everyone reading this chips in just $5, we can end this fundraiser today. All we need is the price of a paperback book to sustain a non-profit website the whole world depends on. We have only 150 staff but run one of the world’s top websites. We’re dedicated to reader privacy so we never track you. We never accept ads. But we still need to pay for servers and staff. I know we could charge money, but then we couldn’t achieve our mission: a free online library for everyone. This is our day. Today. To bring the best, most trustworthy information to every internet reader. I believe all of this is doable, if we pull together to create the internet as it was meant to be. The Great Library for all. The Internet Archive is a bargain, but we need your help. If you find our site useful, please chip in. Thank you.

Frontispiece and portrait of Clement XIV engraved by Antonini after designs by Franciszek Smuglewicz. Other plates unsigned Topics: Architecture, Perspective, Architecture
The first 32 plates are close to Fowler's type A, the plates from the original ed. of 1563, but most differ in details from Fowler's description. Type A also comprises the later Roman eds. of Vaccarius (1607-1610) and Rossi (ca. 1617). The present ed. includes the seven plates of the "Porte di Michel Angelo" (nos. 38-44) and the plate of the five orders (no. 3), all of which probably first appeared in Orlandi's ed. of 1602; see Fowler. It is therefore probable that the present ed.... Topics: Architecture, Columns, Doorways, Gateways, Architecture -- Orders -- Early works to 1800, Columns...

The t.p.'s and plates are worn impressions of those in Bernardino Oppi's ed. of 1635 with Marchetti's name substituted for Oppi's in the imprints (it remains in the dedication dated 18 Aug. 1635, leaf II).
