The exception is a ceiling design from Jean Le Pautre. Added to the 1670 edition are seven plates by Barbet ..., six ceiling designs by Le Pautre, and five plates of fountains from Francesco Fanelli's 'Varie Architecture' (1661). Almost all of 'The Booke of Architecture' was incorporated in Pricke's "Architect's Store-House' (1674)"--Harris.
