RARE, AND "THE BEST WORK OF ITS KIND YET OFFERED" Fowler. First published in French in 1691, the work was long considered the basis for the architectural history of France. The decorative plates depict buildings by Michelangelo and Vignola. As D Aviler s book went through the printers it grew wings more large folding plates which he inserted at the last minute, including plans of gardens, palaces and details of ironwork. What had started as an attractive and accessible guide to the Orders, intended to inform clients, artisans and fellow architects, now became a platform for D Aviler s own architectural ambitions. Further plates were engraved but there was no room in the first edition or a second in 1694 and so, alongside them, D Aviler prepared drawings for an enlarged edition. Work on the new edition was continued by his son Nicholas Langlois II, who had acquired a very large quantity of new Drawings, & Explanations, both from the Author and from several other excellent Architects, Painters & Draftsmen… with which to increase & embellish this Work. The death of the younger Langlois and the sale of the business to a cousin, Jean Mariette, delayed the larger edition of the Cours until 1710. Mariette admired D Aviler and compiled his biography. He mounted D Aviler s designs, Boulogne s frontispiece and other architects drawings for the Cours on sheets in a portfolio, which joined more than 100 others, to make up one of history s greatest collections of drawings. The frontispiece by Louis de Boulogne s shows Architecture appearing as a young woman. She sits leaning on an altar with a Corinthian capital at her feet, compasses in one hand and a portrait of Vignola in the other. Behind her are the ruins of Rome. Louis de Boulogne was the King s Premier peintre, but he was also D Aviler s close friend and the architect has corrected the painter s perspective at the foot of the altar. Drawing Matter, Richard Emerson Vignola, one of the great Italian architects of 16th century Mannerism, was one of three architects along with Serlio and Palladio who spread the Italian Renaissance style throughout Western Europe. He is often considered the most important architect in Rome in the Mannerist era. His two great masterpieces are the Villa Farnese at Caprarola and the Jesuits' Church of the Gesù in Rome. Tutto Rinascimento, De Agostini. 2011 His two published books helped formulate the canon of classical architectural style. The earliest, Regola delli cinque ordini d'architettura ["Canon of the five orders of architecture"] (first published in 1562, probably in Rome), presented Vignola's practical system for constructing columns in the five classical orders (Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite) utilising proportions which Vignola derived from his own measurements of classical Roman monuments. The clarity and ease of use of Vignola's treatise caused it to become in succeeding centuries the most published book in architectural history. See Palladio's Literary Predecessors, 2018.
