[8], 185 pp. (a4, A-P6, Q4 [lacking Q4, a blank]). With woodcut figures, illustrations and diagrams throughout; woodcut printer's device on the title-page. (folio) 11¼x7½, modern speckled calf in antique style, spine tooled & lettered in gilt, raised bands, new endpapers. First Edition in Latin.

The first publication in Latin of Durer's landmark work on proportion, which first appeared in German ("Uberweysung der Messung" PMM 54), 1525. The many woodcut illustrations show the theory of perspective drawing and examples of its application. Five of the leaves fold out slightly to extend the illustrations, and there are the two attached slips which fold out from pp. 179 and 181, which in this instance have some tape discoration from being reattached. With the bookplate of Pierre Amalric.
