Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Folio (340 x 235mm). 77 leaves: [vi], 1-74pp. (including advertisement leaf). Signatures: aa4 (lacking aai), a-i8. Barbé s printer s device on final verso of bearded man holding a laurel wreath in oval cartouche frame with motto "Nec barbae, Nec barbato." 132 woodcuts of geometry and diagrams, 24 in full-page. Text in roman and italic in dual French and Italian. Modern marbled boards and renewed endpapers; (some browning, heavier at front and rear, repaired tear to final leaf). Two old bookseller s description (one for Kraus) laid-in at front. This copy with some interesting additions as in p. 32 where a pencil diagram study was made of the figure. Scattered seventeenth century annotations in French, on p. 67 a crude drawing of a shield with some curious French cancelled, "Mademoiselle ma cousine ie vous supplie bien humblement," and a repeating surname "Vallier" in lower margin. A most definitely utilized copy of this interesting treatise with large figures, which would have captured a student s attention. Dual French and Latin edition of Serlio s important sixteenth century treatise on Geometry and Perspective, Books I and II, published in Paris by Barbé in 1545. Books I and II covered the fields of knowledge once considered the purview of the painter. The books were intended for very few readers, mainly those who were able to draw and reproduce diagrams. For Geometry, architects and artists would have most benefited from the graphic experience and the profuse diagrams which would help them resolve problems in their work. The second book, Perspective, is divided into three short treatises organized as lessons. The first was devoted to the ground plan in perspective, the second to bodies in perspective, the third to "material" perspective in stage design (comic, tragic, and satirical) and is illustrated by the famous engravings on perspective, spatial contours, and distributions of the theater. Serlio s Books I and II appeared third in the series after the "Quarto Libro" on the orders (1537) and Book III on Antiquities (1540). They were important teaching tools that Serlio developed over time and over exposure to the work of Euclid s Elements and other master thinkers and designers of his time like Leon Battista Alberti, Piero della Francesca, Leonardo da Vinci, Jean Pélerin and Albrecht Dürer. Jean Barbé was a Parisian printer and merchant-bookseller who is remembered for partnering with typographer Claude Garamont in 1545 - notably the same year as this edition. At the height of his short two-year career, Barbé s work on this Serlio text was his most notorious and remains an important addition in French Renaissance printing. Barbé prepared just one more final edition of this Serlio text for the benefit of his widow and heirs, which appeared in 1547 - the same year of his death.

Hardcover. Condition: Good+. 18th-century Italian calf-backed paper-covered boards, the spine in six compartments (5 raised bands), with gilt-stamped lettering in morocco spine label in the second, other compartments with gilt-stamped decoration; folio (322 x 230 mm); 5 parts in 1 volume; with 4 letterpress part titles (one printed in red and black), each within a woodcut surround, plus numerous woodcuts in text, some full-page. Binding scuffed and worn, with some chipping at spine tips, along joints and edges of boards. Lacking fol. 12 in Part I and pp. 91-94 in Part III; title to Part I cut down and with early re-margining; blank margins of some other leaves repaired with occasional loss to headlines; a few leaves with old dampstain. Inscription on the first title-p., dated 1637; 19th-century book label of J Bernard and ink signature of art historian Meyer Schapiro on front paste-down. Some early (late-16th or early-17th century) marginalia in one or more hands, including a few nicely accomplished pencil sketches (a face in profile, a merman, architectural details, an ear). An interesting, unique copy. A later mixed edition of Serlio s masterpiece, and one of the great triumphs of Venetian book-production in the late-16th century. Serlio first studied drawing and perspective at Pesaro before moving to Rome in 1514, where he became a follower of Bramante. Initially a painter, he studied architecture under Baldassare Peruzzi. In this, the first great architectural treatise of the Renaissance, Serlio writes of geometry, perspective, classical architecture, and more -- the text beautifully complemented by wood-cut architectural plans, details, perspective schemata, and geometric figures.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Folio (400 x 280mm). 62 leaves. Signatures: A6, A6, [50 plates]. Title printed in large roman print with printer s device of Tournes (encircled snake) and Latin motto Quod tibi fieri non vis, alteri ne feceris. 50 full-page copper engraved plates of portals (30 rustic) (20 refined). Descriptions of plates are separately titled. French text in roman and italic. Two eight-line criblé initials at openings, and seven and six-line historiated initials. Late nineteenth-century three-quarter vellum over decorative boards, endpapers renewed; (some plates with crude marginal repairs stains, last few plates bear the worst; otherwise complete and in order). Images available on request. Should be seen. Late nineteenth-century armorial bookplate of Charles Alexander, Baron de Cosson (1846-1929) to front pastedown. Baron de Cosson was born in Durham to a French family, where his interest in antiquities flourished from an early age. Cosson grew to be an eminent collector, notably of armor. This copy sold by Francis Edwards booksellers to James van der Pool of the Avery Architecture Library (Columbia) in 1952, receipts laid-in. The "Extraordinary Book of Doors" was Sebastiano Serlio s last book he saw through to publication; he died just three years later. The "Extraordinary Book of Doors" was written as an appendix to his major practical treatise on architecture, the Tutte l Opere d Architettura et Prospectiva, whose seven parts were published individually from 1537 to 1575 and later collected in a single volume, issued in 1584. This work on portals, while little-known in its day, showcased fifty examples of gates, both rustic and refined, as pieces of domestic architecture. Serlio illustrated the portals as large plates without text so as to best demonstrate their design. The "Extraordinary Book of Doors" was sometimes included as Book VI in the Architettura series, but it was always unnumbered by Serlio and was intended as a supplemental model book. The illustrations are notable as they show the first hints of the emerging Mannerist style in Italian architectural design.
