Architectural drawings and treatise, ca. 1613-1645.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82423625

Collection consists of drawings of elevations, sections, and plans by Briano, who evidently prepared them for publication; two of these have elaborate explanatory text on their reverse and all have the same format. Most of the drawings are for unidentified buildings. At least nineteen, and possibly 7 others, are for Polish buildings of the Jesuit order, including elevations and sections for the college at Przemysl, a church of "Jaroslavia" (Paszenda), and a chapel at Sandomierz. Other drawings are for buildings in Italy. Three sheets include drawings on both sides. One smaller drawing is of Vignola's chapel of Sant'Andrea, Rome. Four sheets of drawings of the classical orders include part of the text of an architectural treatise on their reverse. The drawings are numbered according to the Bury catalog.

43 sheets.
