This volume contains three series by Hans Vredeman de Vries: I) Das ander Buech Gemacht auff die zway Colonnen, Corinthia und Composita (12 plates); II) Den Eersten Boeck Ghemaect opde Twee Columnen Dorica En Ionica (18 plates); III) Architectura 3e Stuck de oorden Tuschana (12 plates). These series form a three-part set on the subject of the architectural orders, with Den Eersten Boeck (the first book) containing designs for Doric and Ionic columns, Das ander beuch (the second book) containing designs for Corinthian and Composite columns, and Architectura de oorden Tuschana (the third book) containing designs for Tuscan columns. The first two parts were originally published by Hieronymus Cock in 1565, while the third part only appeared in 1578 and was published by Volcxken Dierix, widow of Hieronymus Cock. All three series were designed by de Vries and executed by the Van Doetecum brothers. This volume lacks the title plates for all three series, but an inscription on the first plate of Den Eersten Boeck indicates it is the fourth edition of this series, published by Jan Baptist Collaert II and Carel Collaert after 1601.
