Viollet-le-Duc's project was to make available to the public the historical and practical knowledge available on medieval architecture: by highlighting the principles that had inspired it, this publication would promote the emergence of a "modern" architecture.

Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc was a French architect born on January 27, 1814 in Paris. He died on September 17, 1879 in Lausanne. He is known to the general public for his restorations of medieval buildings. He is also credited with laying the foundations of modern architecture. He was Inspector General of Diocesan Buildings, Member of the Commission of Arts and Religious Buildings (in 1848), etc. Viollet-le-Duc participated in the restoration of many buildings such as the Basilica of Vézelay in 1840, the city of Carcassonne, the Cathedral of Paris, the Château de Pierrefonds, etc.

The 11th volume is an analytical table written by Henri Sabine published in 1889. (binding slightly different).

Les Édifices antiques de Rome, mesurés et dessinés très exactement sur les lieux. 

Paris, Claude Antoine Jombert, 1779.
More Details >
3000 €

Second edition.
A new edition by Claude Antoine Jombert, who had just acquired the original copperplates from the descendants of the architect.
Antoine Desgodetz was sent to Rome, where he stayed for sixteen months in 1676–1677, to survey and measure ancient monuments with great precision. The purpose was well conceived, as he had already observed discrepancies in the dimensions—and thus the proportions—given in classical works on the subject.
The result was a work of obvious utility and great beauty: Desgodetz’s drawings were engraved by excellent artists, including Louis de Chastillon, Nicolas Guérard, and Jean and Pierre Lepautre. Each plate is accompanied by a facing descriptive notice specifying the measurements of the various elements and pointing out the errors in earlier treatises.
The work was justly admired and underwent several reissues. It is all the more surprising to learn that, unlike most ancient treatises, it has not lost its value: even today’s archaeologists—far more demanding than the amateurs of the past—still recognize its accuracy and usefulness.

A complete copy, with all 137 required plates.
