http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81478147

Nine or ten drawings are plans for the Church of Sainte Geneviève and were prepared by or for Soufflot (one has his name inscribed, and several are dated 1769-1779; a plan 127 x 184 cm. is dated 1774-1775). Approximately one hundred and twenty-five drawings were prepared by or for Rondelet (one has his name and several have the dates 1809-1810). Approximately twenty-five drawings are unrelated to the Panthéon, including several for a temple-form building (apparently the Church of the Madeleine), several for a tomb and one of coffers in the Halle au Blé, for which Rondelet reconstructed the dome.

ca. 165 photographic prints and negatives.
