GOLDMANN, Nikolaus. Tractatus de Stylometris sive Instrumentis quibus Quinque Ordines Architecturae. 

Leyde, Chez l'Auteur, 1662.

First edition. Text in latin and german.
This book is devoted to an invention of his own, a drawing instrument to construct the five column orders in the correct proportions.

Nicolaus Goldmann was born in 1611 in the Silesian capital Wroclaw (Poland) and died in 1665 in the Dutch town of Leiden, where he had lived from 1632 onward. He taught mathematics, military architecture and, which was uncommon, architectural theory. Apart from the theory of the classical orders, drawing for architects and design techniques, he developed a unique building typology of his own. With this he attracted students from Holland, the German states, Poland (including Silesia), Ireland, Sweden and Denmark. Goldmann was also exceptional in that he wrote books which were directly derived from reflecting on his teachings. He wrote unusually well, and in studying them, one can grasp almost the entire architectural knowledge of the mid-seventeenth century in the Netherlands and Germany.
