1673. 
et traduits nouvellement en François, avec des Notes 
et des Figures. A Paris, chez Jean Bapt. Coignard. 
1673. —Large Folio. This was a version worthy of 
Perrault the Translator. Though in many parts it 
is impossible to agree with him in his Interpretation 
of the Text, yet it is a most valuable work. The 
figures are numerous and well executed on copper. 
-“ Les dix Livres d’Architecture de Vitruve corrigez 
1684. 
et traduits nouvellement en François, avec des Notes 
et des Figures. Seconde edition revue, corrigée, et 
augmentée. Par M. Perrault de l’Academie royale 
des Sciences, Docteur en Medecine de la Faculté de 
Paris. A Paris, chez Jean Bapt. Coignard, Impri¬ 
meur ordinaire du Roy, rue St. Jaques, à la Bible 
d'or. 1684. —Large Folio. This is, notwithstanding 
the wear of the plates, the best of Perrault's Edi¬ 
tions; and copies of it, in which Seb. Le Clerc's 
plate representing the machinery for raising the two 
large stones of the Pediment of the Louvre appears, 
are valuable. 
-" L’Architecture de Vitruve traduite en François, 
1816. 
avec des remarques par le Bioul. Bruxelles 1816."
