Rare and valuable. The heading on the first page of text shows that Cesare
Cesariano, a Milanese professor of Architecture, was the man who supplied the
commentary and the illustrations. Among the latter is a large design of Milan
Cathedral, which is said to be the carliest engraved example of a Gothic edifice.
Besides the proper illustrations of architectural character, there are likewise figures of
waterwheels, military engines, and other inventions including a warship moved not
only by sails, but also by paddles. The commentary is also extremely valuable, not
only to the mathematician and architect, but also to the painter and sculptor, as it gives
rules for colouring and for studying symmetry and proportion, especially mentioning
Michel Angelo and other eminent artists. THE FIRST MENTION OF THE CAMERA
OBSCURA, USUALLY ATTRIBUTED TO PORTA, IS ALSO FOUND IN THIS WORK.

1599 Although the Breeches Bible was issued in numerous editions and more copies survive of it than of any other book of the 16th and 17th centuries, a fine copy such as the present, no letter of which has been touched by the binder's knife, is rarely found.
