FRIENDS WITH AN OLD BOOK

  • Bosse, Abraham (1684). Traité des manières de dessiner les ordres de l’architecture antique en toutes leurs parties. Paris.

According to The Mark J. Millard Architectural Collection this is the only reprint of the book. In its first volume about French books from the 16th through 19th century they write that the entire book was reprinted only once in French in 1684.

But there seem to be earlier issues, at least of parts of the book. My reference says, that the work was first published four years after Bosse was expelled from the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1661. This would imply some sort of publication in 1665.

Finally, The Mark J. Millard Architectural Collection finds it remarkable, that Bosse’s work was translated into English, but never published.
