DIETTERLIN, Wendel (1550-1599). Architectura von Austheilung Symetria und Proportion der fünf Seulen . Nuremberg: Fürst, 1655. 5 parts in one volume, 2° (312 x 225mm). Engraved title and divisional titles, one half-page and 195 full-page engravings by Dietterlin. (Without the engraved portrait of the author found in some copies, library stamp in margin or lower portion of most plates, marginal soiling, occasional spotting.) Contemporary vellum (joints starting, small repair at foot of spine, soiled). Provenance : unidentified library (manuscript press-mark on spine and blue 'N.R.' stamp). Dietterlin's celebrated collection of 195 'designs of great originality' (Fairfax Murray) immediately inspired designers of the 17th century, and was again embraced as an important reference during the 19th-century revival across Europe. These designs had been originally published in parts from 1593, and first collected in the 1598 Nuremberg edition; this Fürst edition contributed greatly to their success. Andersen II, pp. 255-78; Fairfax, Murray German 134; cf. Fowler 105; cf. Hollstein IV, pp.17-18.
