Transcribed version of the text

French

     In 1682 Henry Wetstein reprinted Le Muet’s edition of the Palladio which he had put out in 1679 (a rather rare edition, of which only a few copies still exist). It follows Mariette’s Parisian edition (1647). The copy at the BnF (Estampes, 4 HB-13) is incomplete and poorly formatted.
