The success of the "Regola", which Vignola's son sent to Count Ottavio Farnese in 1562, immediately provoked unauthorized editions: the printer Bolognini Zaltieri brought out this one as early as 1570, with exact replicas of the thirty-two original copperplates except no. II, replaced by a summary of the five orders inspired by Serlio.
Medium: Copper engraving (line engraving).
Artist / after: After Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola (1507-1573).
