Translation of the first five of the ten books of Vitruvius.
The word "Architettura" at the head of the title-page has been read as the title for this edition, but it seems more likely that this is the label for the figure, replacing a label cut behind the figure but obscured by the shading. Cf. Mortimer.
Imprint from colophon.
Signatures: A¹², B-Q⁸, R² (A2, E3, L1 missigned [cross], N3, M inverted).
Woodcut architectural title-page, with the title cut on the block and the portrait and coat of arms of the translator, Giovanni Battista Caporali, in the border. In the upper part is a figure of Architecture with the crowned griffins of Perugia.
