Folio editions of Vignola's two important treatises, the first on the orders (first published in 1563) and the second on perspective (first published posthumously in 1583). The majority of editions were printed in smaller quarto or octavo formats. Though not in Fowler, this edition of the orders includes the portrait of Michelangelo (considered a reprint of Fowler 359). The second treatise on perspective is notable for the view of Bologna in the engraved title-page. Fowler 389.
