Perspectiva Corporum Regularium 1568 Jost Amman Swiss Perspective of the Regular Bodies is a lavish compendium of perspectival geometry expressly intended to show off the graphic skills of Jamnitzer, perhaps the most renowned sixteenth-century goldsmith.

The forms progress from the simplest on the top row of each page to the most augmented and complex at the Perspectiva Corporum Regul
