Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola's Canon of the Five Orders of Architecture
" In 1999 Acanthus Press (New York) published my translation of Vignola's treatise on the classical orders with a commentary that was intended for the use of classical architects and architecture students. Vignola's treatise is the most published book on the classical orders and the most published architecture book in history (500 editions in 400 years). The English edition I prepared 25 years ago has been out of print for some years now, and the publisher has no intention to reprint it. They have, however allowed me to ciruclate the PDF of the book for free. This can be of great use for architecture students and classical architects, so please feel free to circulate the link below.
