In 1560 Jacques Androuet du Cerceau reprinted the set of eighteen plates representing antique arches and monuments that he had engraved during the years 1545-1560. He preceded them with a title page, Liber novus , complectens multas et varias omnis ordinis, tam Antiquorum quam Modernorum fabricas, jam recens æditus, Anno. M.D.LX . for a cultured public curious about a more or less ideal antiquity.
