Vitruvius: The Ten Books On Architecture is a comprehensive guide to architecture written by the ancient Roman architect and engineer, Vitruvius. This book is a translation of the original Latin text by Morris H. Morgan, a renowned scholar of ancient architecture. The book is divided into ten chapters, or books, each covering a different aspect of architecture, such as building materials, construction techniques, and the design of public buildings. The text is accompanied by detailed illustrations and diagrams, providing readers with a clear understanding of the concepts discussed. The book is a valuable resource for architects, engineers, and anyone interested in the history and theory of architecture. It is also a fascinating glimpse into the world of ancient Rome and the way in which buildings were designed and constructed during that time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
