Object history | The Second livre d'architecture was first published in Paris in 1561 as a series of 66 unnumbered plates with a title page, dedication to Charles IX and introductory text. In this edition the title page was lettered 'Imprimé pour Jacques Androuet du Cerceau'. A second edition was then published around 1580, with the original 66 plates but with a new text and title page, the latter retaining the original publication date (i.e. 1561) but now lettered ' De l'imprimerie d'André Wechel'. For more on these two editions see Guillaume and Fuhring et. al., 2010, p. 315. The NAL holds editions of the following works by Androuet Du Cerceau: De architectvra (Paris, 1559-61) Leçons de perspective positive (Paris, 1576) Livre d'Architecture (Paris,1582) and later editions Livre des Edifices antiques Romains (1584) Sarah Grant |
